The Egyptian government is separately hosting delegations sent by both Israel and the Hamas terror group, according to a report by Kan News on Wednesday, citing Palestinian media.

Senior members of Hamas’s military wing, the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, arrived in Cairo for talks with Egyptian intelligence officials on a possible prisoner exchange agreement with Israel.
