| In complete secrecy: Egypt altered the hostage deal terms before handing to Hamas - report |
| 2024-05-22 |
| [JPost] Qatari officials have denied involvement with the altered deal, placing the blame squarely on Egypt. Egypt altered ceasefire terms before handing agreements to Hamas, three anonymous sources told CNN News in a report published on Tuesday. According to the report, Egypt changed the details of the deal submitted to the Hamas terrorist organization after it had been signed by Israel and before reaching Hamas. It was also reported that this move led to great anger among Israel, the US, and Qatar against the Egyptians. One source even claimed that the Egyptians "deceived us all." Who was behind the altered agreement? A senior Egyptian intelligence official named Ahmed Abdel Khalek was reportedly responsible for the change. A source claimed that Khalek had been telling Hamas one thing and Israel another. Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani assured Mossad that Egypt had acted alone in making the changes, two of the informants told CNN. The ceasefire deal announced by Hamas on May 6 had not been the deal constructed by the US or Qatar, the sources said. An Egyptian source told CNN that Egypt had received Hamas’s response and relayed it to Israel. |
