Hamas has confirmed that the head of its political bureau Ismail Haniyeh has arrived in Cairo this morning. 

In its statement, it revealed that Haniyeh is heading a senior delegation of Hamas leaders who are visiting Egypt to meet with its officials and discuss the political and field situations in Gaza amid the continuous Israeli aggression on the latter. 

The delegation will also address the efforts being made to stop the Israeli aggression and aid the Palestinian people as well as assist them in reaching their goals. 

An Al Mayadeen source reported the above-mentioned, adding that the Hamas delegation includes one of its leaders Khalil Al-Hayya.

IOF strikes violated Gaza ceasefire, Resistance will respond: Hamas

The Islamic Resistance movement in Palestine, Hamas published a statement on February 17 by the head of its political bureau Ismail Haniyeh. 

Haniyeh stressed that Hamas at all times has responded with a positive spirit and high responsibility in cooperation with "brotherly mediators" to stop the Israeli aggression on Palestinians, end the unjust siege, allow aid into Gaza, and begin reconstruction, including shelters. 

He further added that Hamas has shown extreme flexibility in dealing with the above-mentioned points however, it is very clear to him that the Israeli occupation is deliberately and continuously maneuvering around and putting off all issues that concern the Palestinians, while only focusing on its stance regarding the release of the captives. 

Haniyeh reminded of the Resistance's stance, as the latter would accept nothing less than a full stop to the aggression on Gaza, the withdrawal of IOF troops, the lifting of the unjust blockade on Gaza, and the provision of safe and fit shelters for all refugees and homeless Palestinians as a result of the Israeli aggression. He also stressed the return of the displaced Palestinians to the north of Gaza and the halt of the Israeli intentional war of starvation being waged on Palestinians, alongside a commitment to reconstruction.

'Israel's' visit to Egypt was met with disappointment 

Discussions that took place in Cairo on February 14 regarding a captive-prisoner exchange deal between the Palestinian Resistance and the occupation entity were "positive," but no breakthrough was achieved, Israeli media reported last Wednesday.

Citing US and Israeli sources, "Israel's" Walla! news said that the main issue remaining in the negotiations is the number of Palestinian prisoners "that Hamas demands to be released in exchange for the Israeli captives," especially the soldiers.

An Israeli delegation, including Mossad chief David Barnea and Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, arrived in Cairo that day to discuss the military operation against Rafah and the prisoner swap deal with CIA Director William Burns, Egyptian Intelligence Chief Abbas Kamel, and Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
