GAZA STRIP: Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh arrived in Egypt on Wednesday for talks on a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange with Israel, a statement from the Palestinian group said.

The discussions will be “on stopping the aggression and the war to prepare an agreement for the release of prisoners (and) the end of the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip,” the source said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to talk about the visit.
