The Hezbollah-aligned Al-Akhbar outlet reports that Israeli and Egyptian officials have discussed the possibility of the transfer of medications to hostages held in Gaza.

Unnamed sources tell the outlet that topics under discussion during the Egyptian delegation’s visit to Tel Aviv this week included “the possibility of bringing in medicine for Israeli prisoners [sic], similar to a previous agreement.”

The Cairo officials are thought to have presented Israel with a “comprehensive vision” for Gaza. The Al-Akhbar report says talks were also held on the transfer of medications into the Strip for wounded Palestinians.

The International Committee of the Red Cross has not visited any of the hostages held by terrorists in Gaza despite urgent appeals from their loved ones and diplomatic officials for them to do so.
