The meeting, attended by Egyptian, Qatari, American, and Israeli delegations, will discuss mechanisms for delivering aid to the Gaza Strip at 600 trucks per day, as stipulated in the ceasefire agreement.
On Thursday, Al-Qahera News TV channel correspondent in the West Bank confirmed that a delegation from the Israeli military and the Shin Bet (Shabak) would arrive in Cairo on Friday to coordinate with the Egyptian side on mechanisms for the agreed-upon ceasefire in Gaza.
On Friday, Al-Qahera News reported that Egyptian authorities are finalizing preparations in the North Sinai Governorate to facilitate the entry of trucks carrying humanitarian aid to the strip.
Egypt, Qatar, and the US issued a joint statement on Wednesday evening on the agreement reached between Israel and Hamas for the exchange of prisoners and detainees and the establishment of sustainable calm, leading to a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
Immediately after the announcement of the ceasefire deal, Egyptian security sources said coordination is underway to open the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza to allow the entry of international aid to the Palestinian people in the strip.
The security sources indicated Egypt is preparing to deliver the largest possible amount of humanitarian aid to the strip.
The Rafah border crossing would start operating immediately with the start of the ceasefire deal under Egyptian sponsorship and in coordination with Hamas, according to the Israeli channel 13.
Israel has closed the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza, which carried humanitarian aid to the strip, after occupying the Palestinian side of the crossing in May 2024.
