After optimism about the chances for a hostage deal ebbed this week, Israel is considering sending a team to Doha or Cairo for further talks, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.

A mid-level team returned from Doha last Tuesday.
Earlier, a Hamas official said the terror group was optimistic a deal could be reached.
