Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh traveled to Cairo on Tuesday for Palestinian talks aimed at shoring up a fragile-cease-fire with Israel. 

Hamas’ rivals in the West Bank, Fatah, were also in attendance with a high-level delegation led by Fatah figure Jibril Rajoub. The Palestinian factions met separately with Egyptian officials, and it wasn’t clear if they planned on meeting with each other.
