According to the source, Egypt pledged to take further steps to improve the economic situation in Gaza and allow the entry of goods via the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, the report said.

The source also told Anadolu that the two sides agreed on the necessity of consolidating the ceasefire with Israel.

The Hamas delegation to Cairo was headed by Ismail Haniyeh, the terrorist organization's political bureau chief. The Egyptian side was headed by Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel.

Hamas issued a statement following the meeting, saying it was satisfied with the talks, which the terrorist group described as "honest."

The sides, meanwhile, also discussed possible formats for a possible prisoner exchange deal with Israel, although no progress was reported on the matter.

In his meeting with the Egyptian intelligence chief, Haniyeh decried what he called the "Judaization of Jerusalem and Israeli violations in the city." The two also discussed inter-Palestinian tensions and efforts to facilitate unity between the various Palestinian factions.
