Hamas sends top official to Cairo for Gaza ceasefire talks

Hamas said on Tuesday it has sent a delegation led by senior official Khalil al-Hayya to Cairo for talks with Egyptian officials. The discussions will focus on the Palestinian issue and efforts to strengthen the ceasefire in Gaza. The visit comes as part of ongoing indirect negotiations, with Egypt serving as a key mediator between the sides. Al-Hayya, who is Hamas’s deputy leader in the Gaza Strip, is expected to discuss the next steps in implementing the truce. No further details were provided about the agenda or the expected duration of the visit. The ceasefire, which has largely held in recent weeks, remains fragile, and international mediators are pushing for a more permanent arrangement.
