U.S. officials believe there has been some progress in Gaza hostage talks in Cairo but are still waiting to hear more, a U.S. official said on Friday.

The official spoke after a Hamas official told Reuters a delegation from the Palestinian militant group Hamas would visit Cairo on Saturday amid expectations they will deliver a written response to an Israeli proposal on a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release.
