Who is Khalil Al-Hayya, the Hamas leader who met Kushner in Cairo?

Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya met U.S. envoy Jared Kushner in Cairo on Sunday. Hayya became the group’s overall leader in July after Israel killed many top figures. He previously helped clinch a ceasefire deal in October 2025. These meetings show a major shift in how Washington handles the militant group.
