Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

A high-level Israeli delegation arrived in Cairo last night for talks on releasing hostages held by Hamas, an Egyptian source confirms to the Al-Araby Al-Jadid newspaper.

The development indicates that indirect talks are back on track, after the assassination of senior Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri in Lebanon last week in a strike widely attributed to Israel.
