Cairo, December 22 (RHC)-- Palestinian groups – including Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – have met in the Egyptian capital to discuss the war in Gaza, ceasefire talks and plans for post-war Gaza, according to a statement released on the Hamas Telegram channel.

The groups on Friday discussed the latest developments related to the formation of a committee “to manage Gaza after the war.”  Earlier this month, Hamas and Palestinian faction Fatah agreed in Cairo to set up a committee to jointly administer the Strip once the fighting is over.

Under the plan, which needs Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s approval, the committee will have 10 to 15 nonpartisan figures with authority on matters related to the economy, education, healthcare, humanitarian aid and reconstruction, according to a draft of the proposal seen by AFP.

Hamas’s statement made no mention of a Fatah representative’s presence at this most recent meeting.

The delegations present on Friday agreed to meet again at the earliest opportunity “to put the final touches” on the formation of the committee.
