Hamas Meets Trump‑Led Board in Cairo in First Public Contact Since Iran War

Envoys from U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” have met representatives of Hamas in Cairo in an effort to safeguard the Gaza ceasefire, the Reuters news agency reported, citing three sources.

The weekend meeting is the first publicly reported since the start of the Iran war between the Palestinian group and the board, a new international body personally headed by Trump, which has been tasked with overseeing post-war Gaza.

Following the meeting, the Zionist occupation announced on Sunday that it would soon reopen the sole crossing for pedestrians between Gaza and Egypt, shut since the attacks on Iran began. One of the sources said he believed the announcement was a direct result of the meeting between Hamas and the board.

Further meetings were expected this week. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
