Hamas is showing some flexibility in hostage talks, according to an Israeli official. The group understands that a deal will mean a ceasefire, but not an end to the war. There are currently 'open conversations' among working groups in Qatar, and an Israeli delegation could head to Cairo soon. However, the deal could still fall apart as Hamas has refused every previous offer. Israel is also working on a plan to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza with the help of a private American contractor.
