There will be another round of hostage talks this week, this time in Egypt, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel. The Israeli delegation will likely be led by Mossad chief David Barnea, says the official.
US special envoy Amos Hochstein will be in Israel next week to continue pushing for a negotiated end to fighting in Lebanon, says the official. Hochstein will meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top Israeli officials.
“Israel is looking for long-lasting diplomatic assurances” in order to end the fighting against Hezbollah, says the official.
