Mohammed Dahlan

The head of Hamas's political bureau is adopting a method reminiscent of Yahya Sinwar: buying time, exerting pressure on Israel, and building strength for the next confrontation. Hamas will attempt to return to the Palestinian political arena through a list that will not include people holding official positions.

According to the "Al-Araby" channel, the movement of the exiled senior Fatah official is set to form a list with Hamas and two other terrorist organizations. The list, if indeed formed, will run in the elections for the Palestinian Legislative Council in November.

The two discussed "formulating a comprehensive strategy for the Palestinian issue" and advancing the second phase of the ceasefire. In addition, the meeting discussed increasing humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip against the backdrop of talks with mediators.

Jared Kushner met in Egypt with Khalil al-Hayya and Mohammed Dahlan, whose role in talks regarding the future of Gaza is growing. Dahlan is acting as a bridge between Hamas and regional actors, promoting a "broad alliance" ahead of upcoming elections. In the Palestinian Authority, there are growing concerns that this will lead to the creation of a "Hamastan" under the guise of Dahlan.

Against the backdrop of the roadmap for disarming Hamas, former senior Fatah official Mohammed Dahlan claimed that Jared Kushner reached an agreement with Israel to stop strikes in Gaza starting Sunday morning. "We are continuing contacts with the Americans to ensure the implementation of the agreement," he said.
