A delegation from Egypt plans to 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 after months of failed talks. The official said a proposed hostage deal could avert a planned Israeli offensive in Rafah, where much of Gaza’s population has been displaced.
