An Israeli security delegation, including Mossad head David Barnea and Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, arrived in Qatar for talks on a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal. This comes as Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S. push for a resolution before Donald Trump's inauguration. Efforts aim to free 98 remaining hostages and halt the ongoing fighting.

Israeli and Palestinian officials have said since Thursday that some progress has been made in the indirect talks between Israel and militant group Hamas but did not elaborate. The sides have been keeping a tight lid on the details being worked out.
