A delegation of Hamas officials is expected to travel to Cairo today to present their “observations” on an Egyptian plan for a ceasefire, the Times of Israel reports. The plan was presented to representatives of Hamas and Islamic Jihad last week when leaders of both groups visited the Egyptian capital.
Sources close to Hamas say Cairo's three-phase plan calls for renewable ceasefires, a staggered release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israel and, ultimately, a ceasefire to end the war sparked by the deadly Oct. 7 attack.

The Hamas official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP about the planned visit by the Qatar-based Hamas politburo.
