Netanyahu Sends Mossad Director to Gaza Ceasefire Talks in Qatar, Signaling Progress
by Quds News NetworkIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved sending the director of the Mossad foreign intelligence agency to ceasefire negotiations in Qatar in a sign of progress in talks on the war in Gaza. On Saturday evening, Netanyahu’s office announced the decision. It was not immediately clear when David Barnea would travel to Qatar’s capital, Doha, for the latest round of indirect talks between Israel and Hamas. His presence means high-level Israeli officials who would need to sign off on any agreement are now involved. Also being sent to Qatar are the head of Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency and military and political advisers.
