The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas said Monday that its leader is visiting Egypt for the first time since February, in a potential sign of stepped-up efforts to shore up a Gaza ceasefire.
Gaza's rulers said on Monday that Ismail Haniyeh would meet Egyptian officials. It didn't elaborate.

An informal ceasefire brokered by Egypt has prevented major fighting between Israel and Hamas for months.
Hamas kept to the sidelines last month during clashes between Israel and Gaza's smaller and more radical Islamic Jihad terrorist faction.
Israel and Hamas have fought three wars and have clashed on numerous occasions since the group seized power in Gaza from rival Palestinian forces in 2007.
