Mossad chief David Barnea paid a visit to Qatar over the weekend to take part in discussions about the potential for a deal to release hostages in Gaza, according to a number of Hebrew media reports.
The reports, which all cited unnamed Israeli officials — generally indicating a coordinated leak — say that Barnea visited after the IDF began its limited ground operation in Gaza.
Progress was reportedly made during the discussions, but no agreement was reached, the reports claimed.
