An Israeli delegation is set to travel to Cairo for ceasefire and hostage release negotiations that are scheduled to resume today, as confirmed by an Israeli official. On the other side, a Hamas delegation had planned to head to Cairo yesterday to receive updates from mediators on the ongoing talks, according to Izzat al-Rishq, a member of the Hamas political bureau.
Despite efforts to reach an agreement, several sticking points persist in the negotiations over a potential three-phase deal. Senior negotiators are expected to convene this weekend to address these issues. Concerns have emerged recently that the broader regional conflict could impact the progress of the negotiations.
