Hamas agrees to form independent national committee for running Gaza
CAIRO – 9 March 2025: Hamas delegation in Cairo praises Egypt's mediation efforts, agreeing to a Community Support Committee, composed of independent national figures, to manage the Gaza Strip until Palestinian reconciliation is achieved and general elections are held at all national presidential, and legislative levels.
The movement's approval came during a meeting for a delegation from the Hamas headed by Mohammed Darwish, Chairman of the movement's leadership council and head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service, Major General Hassan Rashad, Hamas said in a statement on Sunday.
The meeting addressed several important issues in a positive and responsible manner, particularly the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and the various stages of the prisoner exchange process.
The Hamas delegation expressed its gratitude and appreciation for Egypt's efforts in the past period, especially in countering displacement plans. It also welcomed the outcomes of the Arab Summit, particularly the plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, and reaffirmed the Palestinian people's inalienable rights.
The delegation stressed the need to adhere to all terms of the agreement, to move immediately to the second phase of negotiations, and to open the border crossings to allow the unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip.
Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo on Friday to discuss the continuation of the ceasefire agreement.
Hamas announced on Saturday that there are "positive indications" regarding the negotiations for the second phase of the ceasefire agreement with Israel in the Gaza Strip.
The negotiations continue while Israel has halted the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza since March 2, the day after the first phase of the ceasefire agreement, which took effect on January 19, expired.
Meanwhile, Israel is set to send a delegation to the Qatari capital, Doha, on Monday to advance talks regarding Gaza ceasefire, according to an announcement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office today.
The Israeli delegation's visit comes in acceptance of an invitation from mediators.

Trump Heads to Alaska for Summit with Putin on Ending Ukraine War
Taarek Refaat U.S. President Donald Trump departed for Alaska today ahead of a highly anticipated summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, in what many observers see as a pivotal moment in efforts to end the war in Ukraine. The 'Alaska Summit,' set to take place over the weekend, has drawn global attention amid hopes that the meeting could pave the way for a negotiated settlement to a conflict that has strained international relations, disrupted global supply chains, and weighed heavily on the world economy. Speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force One, Trump described the summit as 'an unprecedented opportunity to achieve peace in this region and bring an end to a war that has cast a long shadow over the global economy.' While details of the agenda remain closely guarded, sources familiar with the talks say discussions will focus not only on the cessation of hostilities but also on post-war security arrangements, humanitarian aid, and the rebuilding of Ukraine's war-torn infrastructure. International analysts note that the choice of Alaska, a U.S. state geographically closer to Russia than any other, underscores both the symbolic and practical significance of the meeting. The location is seen as neutral ground that avoids the political baggage of holding talks in Washington, Moscow, or Europe. Diplomatic circles remain cautiously optimistic, though skepticism lingers about whether the deep-rooted tensions between Washington and Moscow can be overcome in a single round of negotiations. Still, the very fact that both leaders have agreed to meet face-to-face is being hailed as a rare opening in a war that has entered a grinding and costly phase. The summit comes amid growing domestic and international pressure on both sides to find a path toward peace, with humanitarian organizations warning of a worsening crisis as winter approaches in Ukraine. For now, the world watches as Alaska becomes the unlikely backdrop for what could be one of the most consequential diplomatic encounters in recent history. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
