Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
The Paris meeting between CIA Director Bill Burns, Mossad chief David Barnea, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel has ended, Kan news reports.
They were said to be discussing a major hostage deal that would eventually see all captives released in exchange for a two-month pause in fighting. Hamas, however, has been demanding a permanent ceasefire and the withdrawal of the IDF from Gaza as a condition for a deal.
A diplomatic official tells Kan that there is some progress in the talks.
