The Hamas delegation had responded to the mediators' proposals and discussed them with representatives of Egypt and Qatar, the organization wrote on its Telegram channel.
It said the delegation planned to leave Cairo on Sunday evening and consult with the organization's leaders in Qatar.
The latest round of talks to find a solution to the months-long conflict in Gaza began on Saturday. Israel did not send any delegation because the government wanted to wait and see whether Hamas would accept the latest proposal from the mediators, which also includes the US.
It envisages a multi-level agreement between Israel and Hamas that would lead to the release of remaining Israeli hostages held in Gaza, the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons, and an end to the war in Gaza.After a brief ceasefire in November, talks to resolve the conflict have been stalled for months, with Israel and Hamas blamed for the lack of progress.
The Gaza war began on October 7 with an unprecedented massacre of more than 1,200 people killed by militants from Hamas and other groups in Israel who also abducted around 250 people in Gaza.
Israel responded with massive airstrikes and ground attacks. As of Friday, the Hamas-controlled health ministry said the death toll from Israeli strikes in Gaza was more than 34,600.
In its statement on Sunday, Hamas stressed that it was conducting the talks "in a positive spirit and responsibly."However, no breakthrough seems to be on the horizon.
The Palestinian group is pushing for a deal in which Israel commits to ending the war from the beginning and completely withdrawing its troops from the Gaza Strip.
However, Israel denies any such commitment and wishes to reserve the right to take further military action.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday reiterated his stance that the country will continue the war in Gaza until all its objectives are achieved, and again blamed Hamas for stalled talks on a temporary ceasefire.
“Giving in to the demands of Hamas would be a terrible defeat for the State of Israel,” Netanyahu said in a video message on Sunday." "This would be a major victory for Hamas, Iran and the entire axis of evil. "It would demonstrate terrible weakness to our friends and our enemies."
French President Emmanuel Macron called on Netanyahu to continue talks.
In a phone call on Sunday, Macron encouraged the Israeli prime minister to bring talks to a good end, according to reports from the Elysee Palace in Paris, which could ease tensions in the region.
Macron also reportedly stressed that France's priority is the release of all hostages.It said that France fully supports the ongoing talks. According to the statement, the fate of Palestinians in Gaza should no longer be under Hamas rule, while Israeli attacks on the coastal region must stop.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Hamas' military wing has claimed responsibility for rocket attacks in the vicinity of the Kerem Shalom border crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
The Qassam Brigades said Israeli soldiers were the targets of Sunday's attacks.
Kerem Shalom is on the border of Egypt, Israel and Gaza.It is one of the main transit points for humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, where international aid organizations say part of the population is starving after seven months of war.
The crossing was temporarily closed after the attack.
According to the Israeli military, three Israeli soldiers were killed and 11 others were injured in the attack.
A military spokesman said Hamas fired 10 rockets at the Kerem Shalom settlement near the crossing of the same name. The army responded by shelling the settlement near the southern crossing of Rafah, from where the attack was launched.sha/
