The reported cancellation comes after senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan claimed Hamas disarmament was not a part of the original US-led negotiations for the deal.
between US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya in Ankara, Turkey, on Wednesday was canceled due to Israeli pressure, Palestinian sources told the Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese outlet Al Mayadeen.
The official told the Saudi outlet that Hamas would be listening to the American administration's plans to implement US President Donald Trump's Gaza deal.
Hamas reportedly intended to discuss its own ideas regarding "practical implementation" of the deal.
