"A senior delegation from Hamas has met Egypt's intelligence chief in Cairo to discuss Israel's breaches of the ceasefire agreement, the group said, as Palestinians in Gaza held funerals for dozens of people killed in recent Israeli attacks. In a statement on Sunday, the group said it reaffirmed its commitment to implementing the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in its meeting with Hassan Rashad, but accused Israel of continued violations that it said threatened to undermine the deal."
"Hamas, whose delegation included its exiled Gaza chief Khalil al-Hayya, called for a clear and defined mechanism under the supervision of mediators to document and halt any breaches of the deal. Egypt, Qatar and the United States have been mediating between Hamas and Israel, securing the ceasefire that came into effect last month. The Palestinian group said it also discussed with Egypt ways to urgently resolve the issue of Hamas fighters holed up in tunnel networks in Rafah in Israeli-controlled areas of Gaza."
