Hamas announces that senior leader Khalil al-Hayya has arrived in Cairo for talks on reviving mediated ceasefire-hostage negotiations with Israel.
Hamas official Taher al-Nono says in a statement that the terror group’s meetings with Egyptian officials will focus on ways to stop the war, deliver aid, and “end the suffering of our people in Gaza.”
The trip by al-Hayya, who is Hamas’s chief negotiator, comes after comments he made earlier this month implicating Cairo in the ongoing Gaza humanitarian crisis, which infuriated the Egyptians.
