A Hamas delegation will visit Egypt on Friday to give its ‘observations’ about an Egyptian plan for a ceasefire recently put forward, media reports said.

Media reports said that Egypt’s three-stage plan provides for renewable ceasefires, a staggered release of hostages held by Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israel, and ultimately a ceasefire to end the conflict.

“It also provides for a Palestinian government of technocrats after talks involving all Palestinian factions, which would be responsible for governing and rebuilding post-crisis Gaza,” the media reports said.
