Report: Israeli delegation departs for hostage deal talks in Qatar
Channel 12 reports that a delegation of “working-level” negotiators have departed Israel to attend talks in Qatar on a hostage-ceasefire deal in the Gaza Strip, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday that he had okayed the delegation’s departure.
A delegation from the Hamas terror group is also expected in Doha to continue the negotiations, amid reports in recent days that the talks had reached an impasse.
