Hamas delegation visits Cairo for security talks

Egypt could be supplying Hamas with security equipment that includes barbed wire and surveillance cameras, meant to beef up defenses at the new buffer zone Hamas is building along Egypt’s border with Gaza, a report from Asharq Al Awsat says. A technical delegation made up of representatives from Gaza’s interior, health, economic, and finance ministries arrived in Cairo yesterday to discuss the terms of the agreement. The delegation also discussed issues related to fuel and energy with various Egyptian officials, according to a statement from Hamas picked up by Ahram Online. As we noted yesterday, Egypt reportedly sent 22 shipments of fuel to Gaza on Friday.
