Palestinian groups — including Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine — have met in the Egyptian capital to discuss Gaza, ceasefire talks and plans for post-conflict Gaza, Al Jazeera reports citing a statement released on the Hamas Telegram channel.

The groups discussed the latest developments related to the formation of a committee “to manage Gaza after the war” yesterday.

Earlier this month, Hamas and Palestinian faction Fatah agreed in Cairo to set up a committee to jointly administer the Strip once the fighting is over.

Under the plan, which needs Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s approval, the committee will have 10 to 15 nonpartisan figures with authority on matters related to the economy, education, healthcare, humanitarian aid and reconstruction, according to a draft of the proposal seen by AFP.
