The director of Israel’s Shin Bet security agency recently met with Egypt’s newly appointed intelligence chief in Cairo to discuss negotiations on a ceasefire-for-hostages deal. The meeting took place on Sunday and was confirmed by an Israeli official.
Egypt has played a crucial role as a mediator between Israel and Hamas for several years, particularly following the October 7 terror attacks. The discussions between the two officials aimed to explore ways to advance the ongoing negotiations and reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
