Ceasefire talks
Meanwhile, the head of the Islamic Jihad’s political department, Muhammad al-Hindi, arrives in Cairo on Thursday morning to complete ceasefire talks in the Gaza Strip, in light of an official invitation from Egypt.
The organization’s leader, Ziyad al-Nakhala, was initially invited, but the organization’s leadership decided to assign al-Hindi in his place.
Over the past few hours, efforts to reach a ceasefire have “faltered”.
