Mossad chief David Barnea has returned to Israel after talks in Qatar on the emerging ceasefire-hostage deal with Hamas, Channel 12 reports.
Barnea held talks with with mediators that lasted for some four hours, the report says.
There are no immediate details on the talks.
The report says the Israeli cabinet will meet later this evening on the negotiations.
Meanwhile, Hamas says in a statement that mediators have not yet provided the group any updates regarding Gaza ceasefire negotiations.
It also says that Israel continues to “stall” to gain time and thwart the current round of ceasefire talks.
Separately, an Israeli security delegation is holding talks in Egypt aimed at finding a way to reopen the Rafah crossing and prevent arms being smuggled into Gaza from Egypt across the border, the Walla news site reports.
The report cites and Israeli official as saying that the talks in Cairo are not part of the negotiations with Hamas, but are being conducted by Egypt and the US as a way to address Israeli security concerns.
