Report: High-level delegation to Doha, if okayed, to include Mossad, Shin Bet chiefs, IDF point man on hostage deal
A senior Israeli official is quoted as saying that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to decide this evening whether the progress made in hostage talks in Qatar today justifies sending a high-level delegation to Doha to try to close a deal with the Hamas terror group.
Israeli journalist Barak Ravid reports that the delegation would include Mossad chief David Barnea, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and Maj. Gen. Nitzan Alon, the IDF’s point man in the negotiations for a hostage-ceasefire deal in Doha.
