Israel will send a negotiating team to Doha tomorrow, the office of a senior Israeli minister tells The Times of Israel.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene his security cabinet at 10 p.m. tonight to discuss the upcoming proximity talks, and Netanyahu’s visit to Washington, DC tomorrow.
Netanyahu will take off at 4 p.m. from Ben Gurion Airport, and is expected to meet US President Donald Trump on Monday. He is currently scheduled to fly back on Thursday, but regularly extends his visits abroad over the Jewish Sabbath.
Israeli officials tell the Kan public broadcaster that Hamas has eased its demands due to pressure from mediators Qatar and the United States, adding that, “there is something to work with.”
The Israeli delegation is set to head to Doha tonight or tomorrow.
