Egypt’s foreign minister said Wednesday that all members of a 15-person Palestinian technocratic committee tasked with governing Gaza after the war have been approved by all sides.
Hamas officials said earlier in the day that the group had opened talks with Egyptian mediators in Cairo on the committee, which forms part of the U.S.-brokered truce plan for the Palestinian territory.
"We hope that following this agreement, the committee will be announced soon... and will then be deployed to the Gaza Strip to manage daily life and essential services," Badr Abdelatty said.
The Cairo meeting aimed to address the formation of the committee and its operational mechanisms, a senior Hamas official had previously told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Separately, the Hamas delegation was also to hold talks in Cairo with leaders of other Palestinian factions on "political, national and field developments" and the state of the Gaza cease-fire, the official added.
