File- The Red Cross team signed documents on receiving the bodies of the four Israeli captives from Hamas amid a large public presence
CAIRO – 14 March 2025: A negotiating delegation from the Palestinian Islamic Movement (Hamas) headed to Cairo, on Friday, to meet with Egyptian officials and follow up on developments in the negotiations and the ceasefire agreement.
The delegation is headed by the movement leader Khalil al-Hayya, the statement added.
In another statement in English on its Telegram channel, the movement received a proposal from mediators on Thursday to resume negotiations, and responded positively.
The Movement submitted its response early Thursday morning, agreeing to release Zionist soldier Edan Alexander, who holds US citizenship, along with the remains of four others with dual citizenship.
A total of 59 captives remains in Hamas's custody in Gaza following the 7 October attacks including at least 22 who are still alive. Edan Alexander is the only living captive among five Americans held by Hamas fighters in the enclave.
It is not yet clear when the captives will be released or whether the four bodies will belong to American captives.
