Mossad head David Barnea, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and military envoy Maj. Gen. (res.) Nitzan Alon will be dispatched by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tomorrow for talks aimed at reaching a truce and hostage release in Gaza, Channel 12 news reports.

A US source familiar with the negotiations says CIA director William Burns is scheduled to take part in the talks.

However it remains unclear if Hamas will participate.

The talks will be held in the Qatari capital of Doha, according to a source close to Hamas and a second source close to the talks.
