  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nA Hamas delegation is set to meet mediators in Egypt on Wednesday to discuss ways of advancing the fragile Gaza ceasefire, Hamas officials told AFP.\n\nThe talks will include Qatari and Turkish officials alongside Egyptian mediators, as the ceasefire's second phase remains stalled and daily violence continues across the Palestinian territory.\n\n#### What are the Hamas talks in Egypt about?\n\nHamas is heading to Egypt for ceasefire talks aimed at advancing a stalled second phase of the Gaza truce. Mediators have presented revised proposals intended to be acceptable to both Hamas and Israel.\n\nThe delegation, led by chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya, is expected to arrive in Cairo on Tuesday, with talks held in the Mediterranean town of El-Alamein.\n\n#### Who is involved in the Gaza ceasefire mediation?\n\nEgypt invited Hamas and other Palestinian factions to participate in the talks, which will also include Qatari and Turkish officials, according to a Hamas official who spoke on condition of anonymity.\n\nThe mediators have put forward new ideas for a revised proposal that both sides could accept.\n\nA separate meeting between Hamas and Nickolay Mladenov, the high representative for Gaza under US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, is also being planned in Egypt. Those discussions are expected to focus on reconstruction and the handover of Gaza's administration to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, a 15-member technocratic body formed to handle day-to-day governance under the Board of Peace's supervision. The committee has not yet been able to enter the territory.\n\n#### What is blocking progress on the Gaza ceasefire's second phase?\n\nThe second phase of the ceasefire was supposed to involve Hamas's disarmament and a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli military, but negotiations have been deadlocked for months. Hamas has said it will not accept disarmament under conditions imposed by Israel.\n\n\"The resistance factions will not accept disarmament under conditions imposed by the occupation,\" a second Hamas official told AFP. Hamas has repeatedly said it is open to handing over parts of its arsenal, but only as part of a broader Palestinian political process.\n\nLast week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to take control of 70% of the Gaza Strip, in defiance of the ceasefire's terms. Hamas condemned the move as a \"blatant violation\" and criticised what it called the \"complete silence\" of Trump's Board of Peace.\n\n#### How many people have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire began?\n\nDespite the truce, violence has continued across Gaza. Israel has killed at least 932 people since the ceasefire came into effect in October, according to Gaza's health ministry, which operates under Hamas authority and whose figures are considered reliable by the United Nations. The Israeli military says it has lost five soldiers in Gaza over the same period.\n\nHamas said a breakthrough remains possible if Israel does not create new obstacles. \"Hamas believes a breakthrough and progress are possible if Israel does not create new obstacles and if there is a genuine Israeli will to reach a solution,\" a Hamas official said.",
