Hamas chief Khalil al-Hayya is heading to Cairo to meet Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad, Al Jazeera English reported. The talks come as Gaza faces continued tensions and ahead of a planned visit by former U.S. official Jared Kushner.
Egypt has long served as a key channel for negotiating disputes involving Gaza and Palestinian factions. Cairo maintains direct relationships with Hamas leadership and regularly hosts discussions on the territory's political and security matters. The visit by al-Hayya signals ongoing efforts to manage the volatile situation in Gaza through diplomatic channels before Kushner's arrival in the region.
