Cairo

Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is currently a central location for discussions and meetings concerning the future of Gaza following a fragile ceasefire. These discussions are newsworthy due to the ongoing efforts to establish a post-war governance structure for Gaza, which has suffered significant destruction from recent Israeli attacks. Representatives of Palestinian factions, including Hamas, are meeting in Cairo to discuss the second phase of the ceasefire deal, focusing on the disarmament of Palestinian armed groups and the formation of a panel of Palestinian technocrats to lead post-war Gaza. Nickolay Mladenov, tasked with 'disarming Gaza,' is also in Cairo for these meetings. Cairo's role highlights Egypt's significance as a mediator and key player in regional stability, particularly in facilitating dialogue and shaping the future of the Palestinian territories.
