The Lebanese al-Akhbar, which is close to Hezbollah, reports that sources in the know told the paper that hostage negotiations have once again hit a dead end.

According to the report serving as a soundboard for Hezbollah, sources close to the Egyptian delegation for advancing a deal between Israel and Hamas reported to the paper that talks have reached a dead end in the last few days.

This report comes after increasing tension between Israel and Egypt in the last few weeks, with the peak coming in the last few days when Israeli and Egyptian forces exchanged fire near Rafah crossing.

According to the delegation members, "due to the tension in recent days, there is a decline in the violent Israeli tone towards Cairo." The source also said that Egypt is threatening Israel with more serious diplomatic steps against it, if Israel does not become more flexible in talks.

Srugim asked sources connected to the war and broader cabinet on the matter, who responded "We don't know the details of the report, and we do not address negotiation processes."
