The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Wednesday that the Central Intelligence Agency Director, William Burns, discussed with the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and the head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service, Abbas Kamel, a proposal for an Egyptian administration of security in the Gaza Strip.

The newspaper added that the aim is “for the Palestinian Authority to be able to take over responsibility” at a later period, according to what senior Egyptian officials said.

The WSJ mentioned that el-Sisi rejected the proposal, saying that "Egypt would not play a role in eliminating Hamas because it needs Hamas to maintain security on the border."

Meanwhile, Egyptian sources revealed that Egypt is close to reaching a humanitarian truce in Gaza and exchanging prisoners, as a result of talks carried out by Cairo, according to the Al-Qahera news channel.
