Doha talks could take 2 weeks due to communication issues with Hamas in Strip — official

An Israeli official confirms that negotiators are expected in Doha today for talks on securing a six-week truce with Hamas and the release of 40 hostages.

Mossad chief David Barnea will head the delegation, the official says.

This stage of the negotiations could take at least two weeks, the official estimates, citing difficulties that Hamas’s foreign delegates may have in communicating with the group in the besieged enclave after more than five months of war.
