Hamas delegation arrives in Cairo for Gaza ceasefire talks

A Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo on Sunday to hold ceasefire talks on Gaza, a senior official told Reuters.

The delegation is being led by Hamas' deputy chief in Gaza, Khalil Al-Hayya, the official added.

A Palestinian official familiar with the truce talks told Reuters that they were not yet close to finalizing a deal, when asked if one was imminent.

An Israeli delegation is also expected to arrive in Cairo to take part in the talks.
