The Egyptian movement in the Gaza file these days recorded momentum and comprehensiveness compared to the previous ones, in view of the issues discussed by the Egyptian intelligence with the delegation of the Hamas movement headed by Ismail Haniyeh, and the Islamic Jihad movement led by its Secretary-General Ziyadat al-Nakhala at the beginning of the week, in parallel with the meetings of an economic and “professional” dimension. with the Palestinian Authority.
Calm down..and projects
Sources from the two movements told Al-Modon that the Cairo meetings aimed at addressing two main goals: the first is to stabilize the calm and prevent escalation, especially following the Israeli aggression that targeted the Jihad in Gaza in May. As for the second goal, it is to discuss implementation mechanisms for “important” economic projects to stabilize the calm.
The head of the Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa Network, Wissam Afifa, told Al-Modon that the Egyptian effort to stabilize the calm is part of a permanent role, but it was strengthened by the Aqaba and Sharm al-Sheikh summits, to reduce escalation, according to the American vision.
Afifa indicated that the resumption of the Egyptian effort following the last round of escalation; It comes to prevent deterioration, especially in light of the hot weather associated with other arenas, especially the Iranian one and its followingshocks. He continued, “There is an Egyptian and regional keenness to keep Gaza away from any escalation linked to other arenas.”
The Last Battle Synopsis
A Hamas leader revealed to Al-Modon another motive for the Egyptian effort, which lies in the attempt to build on the results of the recent Gaza battle, since Hamas has proven that it has “the ability to control its behavior and manage the battle with a strategic dimension away from reactions, which strengthens its presence as a major player.” “.
The Hamas leader revealed that one of the goals of the Cairo meeting is to overcome any discrepancies between Hamas and Jihad, and to strengthen coordination between them, and with Egypt, to control the field and prevent an explosion.
In turn, a source from the Islamic Jihad told Al-Modon that Egyptian intelligence met with the movement’s delegation on Monday, separately from Hamas. He described the meeting as “informative”; That is, telling the Jihad of Israeli guarantees that it will not carry out new assassinations within its ranks, on the condition that the movement adheres to the stabilization of the lull. However, the Egyptian intelligence warned the Jihad that it might not guarantee the Israeli pledge, which seemed to be an “implicit request” by the Jihad to “neutralize” Gaza from the external arenas and its influences, in order to ward off future Israeli assassinations.
According to the source, Al-Jihad’s meeting with the Egyptian intelligence was brief, and focused on informing them of the Israeli pledge and confirming the truce. This is because discussions had preceded him regarding the truce and its details, when an Egyptian delegation met the Jihad leadership in Beirut recently.
The economy..too
The economy file was strongly present in the Cairo meetings, along with security, as it is a barrier to detonation, from an Egyptian and international perspective.
Hamas sources told Al-Modon that Egypt now has projects related to Gaza, represented by a commercial zone built on the Egyptian-Palestinian border, which is nearing completion, and others under discussion, such as the establishment of a Palestinian port, and the possibility of operating an airport in Arish for the travel of Gazans.
What also strengthened the file was the visit of a government delegation from the authority headed by Muhammad Shtayyeh to Cairo a few days ago, as part of discussions to arrange the Palestinian papers. Coordination of executive mechanisms to activate economic projects. According to Hamas sources, Al-Modon, Egypt is interested in the title of power and does not wish to ignore it completely. For political, security and legal reasons, this prompted Egyptian efforts to bring Hamas and the PA closer economically, to advance projects.
While a Palestinian minister denied to Al-Modon any connection between the factions’ meetings in Cairo and the PA’s talks with the Egyptians, claiming that the latter was entitled “strengthening economic cooperation,” he acknowledged at the same time that Gaza is a “common issue.” He revealed that activating the gas field off Gaza is being discussed vigorously.
