Mediators in Cairo worked to restore the original agreement, which is the American proposal with minor changes, to which Hamas had already agreed. According to the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar.

This round is expected to be completed today with extensive discussions with the Israeli delegation, which will meet with its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, before returning with the final responses to the proposals on the table.

Yesterday's meetings dealt with concessions from Tel Aviv, which negotiators believe may lead to Hamas's approval of the deal, according to sources familiar with the discussions.

What the mediators are currently working on is related to returning to the previous agreement that Hamas agreed to, with minor amendments, including a gradual rather than complete withdrawal from the Strip, in exchange for clear Israeli flexibility regarding the return of the displaced to the northern Gaza Strip.

Among what officials describe as concessions is a gradual Israeli withdrawal from the Philadelphi corridor during the first phase of the agreement, while ensuring that no construction work is carried out on the corridor or attempts to change the current status quo, while a land route is being paved that will allow Israeli occupation forces to move and reach there quickly.

For its part, the United States has put an amended proposal on the table, which will be discussed in depth during today’s meetings. Although many of the details are ready, awaiting the final Israeli response, Cairo still views the optimism that Washington is promoting intensively about reaching an agreement as an attempt at internal American exploitation, with the approach of the US presidential elections.

As for the Rafah crossing, the discussions that took place regarding it reached the same previous results, which linked its return to operation to the restoration of Palestinian control over it.
