Hamas delegation to head to Cairo to discuss Gaza-Sinai commerce zone

A Hamas delegation is expected to visit Cairo this week discuss a plan to build a joint commercial zone in Gaza with Egyptian intelligence officials, according to a report by Lebanon’s Al-Akhbar, picked up by Haaretz. Egypt reportedly intends to move forward with the plan regardless of Hamas’ objections, sources said. The visit comes a few days after White House adviser Jared Kushner and special envoy Jason Greenblatt met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to promote the Trump administration’s new peace plan for the region.
