A Hamas delegation will arrive in Cairo tomorrow for talks with Egyptian officials, the group’s senior official Basem Naim tells Reuters.

The visit comes days after the United States said it would begin new efforts with Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey to revive talks for a Gaza hostage release and ceasefire deal amid a renewed push in the wake of the truce between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group.

Hamas is displaying increased flexibility in long-stalled talks for an elusive ceasefire and hostage release deal in the Gaza Strip, and may agree to the Israel Defense Forces temporarily remaining on the enclave’s border with Egypt, a New York Times report said yesterday.
