Khalil Al-Hayya, Hamas Leader, Meets Trump's Son-In-Law Kushner

Khalil Al-Hayya is the leader of a group called Hamas, which fights against Israel.

He met with Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of the President of the United States.

The meeting took place in Egypt and was the second time they talked.

Hamas and Israel have been fighting a big war in a place called Gaza, and many people have been hurt.

The United States made a plan in which Hamas would give up its weapons and Israel would leave Gaza.

Hamas says it will hand over its weapons to a new Palestinian government, but it does not like the word 'disarmament.'

Israel says it will not leave until Hamas has no weapons left.

Al-Hayya has lost many family members in the fighting, including his sons.

He says the group wants peace and a Palestinian state, in line with international law.

The United States calls Hamas a terrorist group, but Al-Hayya says the group is fighting for its rights.
