The delegation, which also included Hamas’ Tehran representative Khaled al-Qaddoumi, discussed the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

A ceasefire took effect in Gaza on Jan. 19, halting Israel’s genocidal war, which has killed more than 47,500 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and left the enclave in ruins.
