Israel-Gaza war: Hamas leader in Egypt for ceasefire talks | BBC News

The leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, has arrived in Cairo for talks on a fresh ceasefire in Gaza.

Egypt, along with Qatar, helped to broker a truce last month which lasted a week and saw a number of Israeli hostages released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has said his country was ready for another humanitarian pause in Gaza to enable the release of hostages.

Later today, the UN Security Council is due to vote on a delayed resolution calling for a pause in the fighting.
