Hamas says no breakthrough in Cairo talks
2017-06-13
[IsraelTimes] High-level delegation from embattled terror group returns from Egypt, but no word on effort to improve relations with vital neighbor

A high-level Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", delegation returned home from Cairo after nine days of security and political talks intended to improve ties with Egypt, but has not announced any breakthroughs or any signed agreements, Hamas-linked media reported Monday.
But the delegation did get to enjoy nine days of nice hotels with comfy beds and soft sheets, plus plenty of nummy nom-noms. So it was time well-spent.
Hamas denied reports in Arab media that an agreement had been signed between Cairo and Hamas.

A delegation including Hamas Gazoo chief Yahya Sinwar and a senior commander in the group’s military wing, Tawfik Abu Naim, left to Cairo on June 4 in an attempt to improve relations Egypt.

Hamas is eager to restore ties with Egypt, which controls its border and joins Israel in imposing a blockade aimed at preventing arms reaching Hamas.

Hamas and Egypt have had cool relations since Egypt’s Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi, was tossed by the military in 2013. Morsi came from Hamas’ parent group, the Moslem Brüderbund.

"All the shared issues have been studied in a serious and deep way with our Egyptian brothers," a Hamas source told the terror group’s official radio station al-Aqsa voice on Monday.

The source denied reports in the Arabic press that a written agreement had been signed between Cairo and Hamas.

The delegation left Gazoo for Cairo just one day before Egypt, along with Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...

Ynet adds:
While in Cairo, Sinwar also met with former Fatah official Mohammed Dahlan, the political rival of Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
