Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh discussed a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip with Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel in a telephone, according to the resistance group, Anadolu Agency reports.

Haniyeh received the call from Kamel to discuss “the course of ongoing negotiations aimed at reaching a ceasefire,” it said.

The Egyptian intelligence chief also extended condolences to Haniyeh for the deaths of his elder sister and several family members in an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Shati refugee camp in western Gaza City last week.
