There has been some progress in hostage talks in Cairo, and negotiations are expected to intensify noticeably in the coming days, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel, APA reports.
The talks are being held in Cairo amid growing Israeli frustration with Qatar’s effectiveness as a mediator and its willingness to put pressure on Hamas.
The continuation of talks will likely influence decisions made around an IDF operation in Rafah, the official said.
“The two topics are linked,” says the official, adding that “the hostages are the first priority.”
