Hamas Chief Heads to Cairo for Gaza Talks Before Kushner Visit

Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya arrives in Cairo to meet Egypt's intelligence chief Hassan Rashad — his first trip since taking charge in July 2026. The talks come before envoy Jared Kushner visits Israel and Egypt next week to narrow gaps on a Gaza framework Israel's Netanyahu rejected August 9. Hamas says it accepted the plan; Israel demands Hamas disarm first.
