US President-elect Donald Trump’s recently-appointed hostage envoy, Adam Boehler, was in Cairo today to meet with Egyptian officials on efforts to secure a hostage deal, a source familiar with the matter says, confirming reporting in the Kan public broadcaster.

Boehler met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday and is slated to also travel to Doha for similar talks, the source says.
