Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al‑Sisi welcomed US envoy Jared Kushner in Al‑Alamein, north of Cairo, to discuss the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire agreement signed at the 2025 Sharm El‑Sheikh summit.

Meeting details

The presidential statement said Sisi and Kushner stressed the need for all parties to honor the pact and to monitor the immediate rollout of agreed steps. Simultaneously, intelligence chief Hassan Rashad received a Hamas delegation led by Khalil al‑Hayyah to explore ways to advance the roadmap.

Background and Hamas stance

Hamas affirmed its commitment to former US President Donald Trump’s plan to end Palestinian suffering and to launch a reconstruction program. The Hamas team included negotiators headed by Zaher Jabbareen, marking al‑Hayyah’s first visit to Egypt since assuming leadership in late July.

The talks occur after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a 15‑point proposal presented by the High Representative of the Peace Council Nikolai Maladinov, while Hamas expressed willingness to hand over its weapons to a new Palestinian committee in exchange for a phased Israeli withdrawal from large parts of Gaza.
