The Times of Israel reported on Friday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given approval for Israeli negotiators to travel to Cairo on Saturday night to discuss an exchange deal in the Gaza Strip.

The newspaper reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has allegedly authorized a delegation to travel to Cairo to resume talks on Saturday or Sunday.

This comes two days after Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike in Tehran. Hamas confirmed the martyrdom of Haniyeh, stating that he was killed in a "treacherous Zionist airstrike on his residence in Tehran."

In the aftermath of the assassination, Iran's UN envoy Saeed Iravani said that Haniyeh's death "would not have happened without an American green light and intelligence support to carry out the operation." 

Yet according to National Security reporter at The Washington Times Dan Boylan, Washington was unaware of "Israel's" plans to kill Haniyeh. He further claimed that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and the Pentagon were kept in the dark about the operation.

An op-ed published in the Financial Times on Wednesday warned that recent aggressions against Lebanon and Iran could spiral the region into war.

Earlier today, Spanish news agency EFE reported citing Egyptian security sources that negotiations involving Egyptian and Qatari intermediaries with "Israel" to secure a truce in the Gaza Strip "stopped completely" following the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh.
