Earlier, a Hamas delegation led by Khalil al-Hayya met with Hassan Rasad, head of Egyptian intelligence services, also in El Alamein. The primary topic was the advancement of the American peace plan for Gaza. Hamas officials reaffirmed their commitment to implementing Trump's plan, stating that discussions involved efforts to persuade Israel to uphold the agreement and proceed with its 15-point roadmap.

The American roadmap, which Hamas approved in late July, includes the disarmament of the organization and the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, paving the way for the second phase of the Trump plan.
