PM said set to determine mandate of Israeli negotiating team ahead of Thursday summit
A member of the Israeli negotiating team tells Channel 12 that there is no point in traveling to the Thursday hostage talk summit if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t expand the mandate of the team.
The exact parameters for the Israeli team will be set at a meeting with Netanyahu later this week.
The negotiators warned Netanyahu earlier this month that it won’t be possible to reach a deal with the new demands that he issued in late July. Netanyahu insisted again earlier today that he has not added new demands, rather offered clarifications that allow for the deal to be implemented.
