A Hamas delegation is due to meet with mediators in Egypt on Wednesday to discuss ways of advancing the fragile Gaza ceasefire, Hamas officials told AFP.

The Palestinian territory remains gripped by daily violence meted out by Israeli troops.

A transition to the second phase of the ceasefire, which was supposed to involve a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli army, has been stalled for months.

"Egypt has invited Hamas and other factions to participate in talks with mediators on Wednesday... which will also include Qatari and Turkish officials," a Hamas official said, declining to be identified as he was not authorised to speak publicly on the matter.

New, revised proposal

"The mediators have presented ideas for formulating a new, revised proposal acceptable to both Hamas and Israel."

The official said the Hamas delegation, headed by chief negotiator Khalil Al Hayya, as well as representatives from other Palestinian factions, was expected to arrive in Cairo starting Tuesday for the talks to be held in the Mediterranean town of Al Alamein.

"Hamas believes a breakthrough and progress are possible if Israel does not create new obstacles and if there is a genuine Israeli will to reach a solution," the official added.

One of the key sticking points to advancing the ceasefire negotiations has been the issue of Hamas's disarmament.

Hamas says it is not opposed to partial disarmament

"The resistance factions will not accept disarmament under conditions imposed by the occupation," a second Hamas official told AFP.

Hamas has repeatedly said it is not opposed to handing over some of its arsenal, but only as part of a Palestinian political process.

Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered the military to take control of 70% of Gaza, in defiance of the ceasefire's terms.

Hamas at the time accused Netanyahu of a "blatant violation", condemning the "complete silence" of US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace and its high representative for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov.

Reconstruction and governance handover

The second Hamas official on Monday said mediators were planning a meeting between the group and Mladenov in Egypt, where discussions would focus on reconstruction efforts and handing over administration of the Palestinian territory to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza.

The 15-member technocratic committee was formed to handle day-to-day governance under the supervision of the Board of Peace, but it has not yet been able to enter the territory.

Israeli violence, meanwhile, continues to rock Gaza.

Israel has killed at least 932 people since the ceasefire began, according to Gaza's health ministry.
