Cairo is supposed to be the location for continued talks between the U.S., Qatar and Egypt on implementing the deal. Abdelatty said the talks were set to begin soon, and that the mediators would have an “operation room” overseeing the deal in the Egyptian capital. Abdelatty declined to discuss Hamas' capabilities, but signaled it will not play a role in governing Gaza after the war.
He said the only solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state that includes the West Bank and Gaza. The outgoing Biden administration has called for a revitalized Palestinian Authority to return to post-war Gaza, an idea Netanyahu and his far-right partners reject.
He said arrangements are still being worked out, but that Egypt would welcome the return of civilian observers from the European Union.
