Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in their meeting that he will send his top negotiators to a summit in Cairo this week, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.

The team will be led by Mossad chief David Barnea, Shin Bet director Ronen Bar and IDF hostage pointman Nitzan Alon.

All three took part in the talks last week in Doha, Qatar.
