A delegation from Egypt will travel to Israel on Friday to discuss “security coordination” after Israel’s war cabinet met to discuss hostage deal negotiations, according to an Israeli official who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the matter’s sensitivity, signaling a resumption of efforts to broker a cease-fire and hostage release deal after months of failed talks. The cabinet’s deliberations came ahead of a planned Israeli incursion in Rafah, where much of Gaza’s population has been displaced.
