Hamas has issued a statement saying that its delegation, headed by Mujahid Muhammad Darwish, has left Cairo, Al Jazeera reports.

“The delegation presented the movement’s vision for reaching a comprehensive deal that achieves a ceasefire, prisoner exchange, relief and reconstruction. It was agreed to exert further efforts and continue communication to ensure the success of these efforts,” the statement said.
