Israeli source: The talks in Cairo on the hostage deal were good, but no breakthrough was achieved - voila! news. Main gap that remains in the negotiations is the high number of prisoners that Hamas demands for the abductees.
In the talks held last night "progress was made in understanding the gaps", and following them Qatar and Egypt will examine whether Hamas will be willing to flex its positions. Nitzan Alon, the IDF commissioner for the issue of abductees in Gaza, was scheduled to participate in the talks but in the end did not join the delegation.
