Delegations from Palestinian rivals Hamas and Fatah met in Cairo on Wednesday to discuss reconciliation and the administration of post-war Gaza, according to a source and Egyptian state media reports.

Egyptian state-affiliated Al-Qahera News quoted sources as saying the factions are working on a "mechanism to form a committee responsible for managing Gaza's crossings and overseeing key issues related to health services, relief aid, shelter, social development, and education."

Hamas's delegation is led by Khalil Al-Hayya, while Fatah's delegation is headed by deputy leader Mahmoud al-Aloul.

"The meeting will focus on establishing a technocratic government to administer post-war Gaza, the day-after plan, and supporting the unity of authority in Gaza and the West Bank," a source told ABC News. It will also address the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, the source added.

The discussions are expected to last for two days, the source said.
