Mossad chief David Barnea will reportedly fly to Doha today and meet with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani to discuss final details of the hostage deal slated to go into place tomorrow morning.
The trip indicates that there are still loose ends that Israel wants to tie, even though the sides have formally approved the deal, the Walla news site reports.
Questions apparently remain regarding the mechanism through which the hostages will be released as well as the start of the ceasefire. Hamas has stated that it will start at 10 a.m., while Israel has yet to publicly state the same.
One Israeli official confirmed the 10 a.m. start time to CNN, but another tells Walla that it will only be finalized at Barnea’s meeting in Doha.
Barnea will be joined by Nitzan Alon, who has held the hostage file for the IDF.
