Hamas has said its negotiating delegation will travel to Egypt on Tuesday to continue talks on implementing the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
In a statement on Telegram, the Palestinian resistance group said its delegation will meet Egyptian officials, mediators from Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye, as well as representatives of Palestinian factions.
The talks aim to consolidate the ceasefire and advance commitments agreed in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el Sheikh in October last year, particularly those related to humanitarian conditions in Gaza and the transition to the second phase of US President Donald Trump's plan, Hamas said.
Hamas says it fulfilled its first-phase commitments by releasing Israeli captives, while accusing Israel of violating the agreement through continued attacks and restrictions on humanitarian aid.
The second phase of the agreement includes a broader Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza and the start of reconstruction. Israel, however, insists the disarmament of Palestinian factions must come first, delaying implementation of the next phase.
Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, killing more than 73,000 Palestinians and wounding over 174,000 others, most of them women and children.
Despite a ceasefire that took effect on October 10 2025, Israel has continued daily attacks, killing 1,207 Palestinians and injuring 3,914 others since, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
Israel has also continued to restrict the entry of food, medicine, medical supplies, shelter materials and prefabricated homes into Gaza.
About 2.4 million Palestinians, including 1.5 million displaced people are living in what aid agencies describe as catastrophic conditions.
