An Israeli official tells The Times of Israel that no decision has been made yet to send a delegation to Cairo for further talks on a hostage release deal.
Earlier today, a Saudi newspaper reported that an Israeli delegation would be in Cairo within hours.
The official says that Israel is being “cautious” and is waiting for proof that Hamas positions have softened before sending negotiators.
