An Israeli channel, Thursday, quoted informed sources as saying that Cairo had invited both Israel and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to start negotiations to conclude a deal to exchange prisoners.
The official Israeli Channel 11 said that no date has yet been set for the talks, which will be hosted in Cairo with Egyptian mediation and supervision.
An Egyptian delegation arrived in Israel at the end of last week to discuss installing a sustainable lull, rebuilding the Gaza Strip after the recent aggression, and concluding a deal to exchange prisoners.
The channel said that Israel has set two conditions for these talks. The first is that they take place through separate tracks, and the other is that progress in the prisoner exchange negotiations is a condition for progress in the Gaza reconstruction file.
On the other hand, the Axios news site said that Israeli officials informed the US Secretary of State that a number of conditions must be met before they allow the beginning of the reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
The site quoted Israeli officials that the Biden administration should pressure Egypt to monitor its border crossing with Gaza, and to prevent the entry of dual-use materials that could enhance the military industry of Hamas, in addition to the demand for progress towards the recovery of Israeli soldiers and citizens held by Hamas.
According to the location.
The site considered that the US administration wants to coordinate reconstruction with the Palestinian Authority, which has no influence in Gaza, and to exclude Hamas, which has controlled the Strip for more than two decades.
