HAMAS leader Ismail Haniyeh visited Cairo today for talks on the war on Gaza as part of increased international efforts to secure another ceasefire.

Mr Haniyeh met Egyptian intelligence chief Abass Kamel to discuss a potential second truce, possibly including an exchange of Palestinian prisoners for hostages taken by Hamas during its October 7 attack on southern Israel, which sparked the current violence.

It was not immediately clear how the meeting went.
