Abbas, al-Sisi discuss Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi met Saturday in Sharm el-Sheikh as part of Egypt's efforts to forge a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel.

Neither of the sides elaborated what was achieved in the meeting. However, according to Palestinian sources, al-Sisi is attempting to prevent possibles obstacles the Palestinian president might set to curb the ceasefire deal, which the Palestinian Authority is not a part of.
