Separately, security sources said Kalin also held meetings on the sidelines of the Cairo talks with Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad and Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
The meetings addressed the US/Israel-Iran war, as well as developments in Somalia, Sudan, and Libya, the sources said.
The Gaza ceasefire agreement entered into force on October 10 2025. Its first phase included a prisoner exchange, expanded humanitarian aid access, and the partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from some areas.
Palestinian sources, however, say Israel has not fully met its obligations under the deal and that attacks have continued.
The second phase of the agreement is expected to address Gaza’s administration, reconstruction, the deployment of an international force, Israel’s withdrawal, and certain political and security arrangements.
Representatives of Palestinian groups and guarantor countries began contacts in Cairo on Sunday to discuss the second phase of the ceasefire.
