Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar will reportedly head up a delegation being dispatched to Cairo tomorrow to take part in talks about the hostage release deal and the future control of the Rafah Crossing.
According to a report in the Walla news site, Bar will take part in talks in the Egyptian capital on a potential hostage-truce deal, including discussions of the names of the Palestinian security prisoners slated to be released, as well as the future control of the crossing.
The Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt has been essentially shut since the IDF began operations in the city in May, infuriating Cairo. Earlier today, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published a list of Israeli demands for the talks, which included a vow that Israel will not allow weapons smuggling between Egypt and Gaza, a likely reference to control of the crossing.
Mossad chief David Barnea was in Qatar last week and is slated to return again this week, as negotiations on a potential deal have been restarted.
