Hamas reps reportedly in Cairo for more hostage deal deliberations

Hamas representatives are in Cairo for another day of talks with Egyptian and Qatari mediators to discuss the parameters of a hostage deal, Channel 12 reports.

The unsourced report doesn’t say if among the representatives is Hamas politburo leader Ismail Haniyeh, who has said this week that he will travel to Cairo for talks on a potential deal. Haniyeh lives in Qatar.

If the representatives choose to move forward, they will then turn to Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar for his approval.

According to Channel 12, the process could take until the end of the week.
