Israel has taken a step towards a possible truce with Hamas in the Gaza Strip by sending top negotiators to Qatar-hosted talks. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced that senior officials, including Mossad chief David Barnea and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar, will join the discussions. The upgraded delegation aims to facilitate progress on a proposed agreement that could lead to the release of hostages held by Hamas. This move follows existing working-level negotiations in Doha, which are expected to boost momentum for a breakthrough in talks.
