Hamas Chief Meets Egyptian Officials Ahead of Kushner's Gaza Peace Talks

Hamas Chief Meets Egyptian Officials Ahead of Kushner's Gaza Peace TalksPreviousNext

Hamas political chief Khalil al-Hayya traveled to Cairo to meet Egyptian intelligence officials ahead of US envoy Jared Kushner's visit to the region. Kushner aims to advance a Gaza peace plan involving Hamas disarmament and Israeli troop withdrawal, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly rejected. Talks also involved mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. Despite a ceasefire declared in October 2025, Israeli airstrikes have continued, raising concerns about the plan's implementation and the future of Gaza's governance.
