Qatar talks on Gaza truce continuing as some Israeli negotiators stay behind, source tells Reuters

Officials from Israel’s Mossad spy agency remain in Doha for negotiations mediated by Egypt and Qatar on a Gaza truce and hostage releases, a source briefed on the talks tells Reuters.

An Israeli official told The Times of Israel that it had recalled its team from Doha, effectively ending negotiations, as an official statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office indicated that Jerusalem no longer saw Hamas as willing to compromise.

The source tells Reuters, however, that only a small Mossad team was returning to Israel from Doha for consultations on developments in the talks.
