JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The departure of the Israeli team negotiating a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal mediated by Egypt, Qatar and the United States has been pushed from Thursday to next week, an Israeli official said on Wednesday.
The official said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Joe Biden were going to discuss ways to advance the deal in their meeting in Washington on Thursday and therefore the delegation's departure has been delayed.
