GAZA STRIP, Palestinian Territories, Aug 24, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - A senior Hamas official said the Palestinian militant group was sending a delegation to Cairo on Saturday but that they would not attend Gaza ceasefire talks in the Egyptian capital.

"The delegation will meet with senior Egyptian intelligence officials to be briefed on developments in the ongoing round of Gaza ceasefire talks... but this does not mean it will take part in the negotiations," the official told AFP on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to talk publicly on the issue.
