Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh arrived in Cairo on Tuesday for talks with Egyptian officials on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Hamas said.

Haniyeh is leading a delegation to hold talks on Gaza and "the efforts made to stop the aggression, provide relief for citizens and achieve the goals of our Palestinian people," a Hamas Telegram channel said.

Sources at Cairo airport confirmed his arrival from Qatar for a multi-day visit, along with six Hamas officials.

A high-level Israeli delegation also arrived in Cairo for an hours-long visit to discuss developments in Gaza, airport sources said.

Last week, intelligence chiefs from the United States, Israel, Qatar and Egypt held talks in Cairo in a bid to achieve a ceasefire in the Gaza war and to exchange more hostages.
