Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's office says he has instructed his country's negotiators to travel to Cairo "for the continuation of the talks" The announcement came hours after four Israeli hostages' as part of the final hostage-prisoner exchange of phase one of the deal.

Netanyahu has been under intense pressure from hardline members of his cabinet to resume Israel 's war in Gaza against Hamas .

Hamas said after the final exchange of phase one on Thursday that it was "ready" to engage in negotiations on the terms of a second phase. The news that Israeli negotiators were headed for Cairo , with the end of phase one looming on Saturday , will offer some hope to the families of the 59 remaining Israeli hostages — along with some 2 million Palestinians in Gaza and millions of people across the Middle East — for a continuation of diplomacy rather than a resumption of war..
