Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that he had okayed sending an Israeli delegation for talks in Qatar on a hostage-ceasefire deal in the Gaza Strip.
The latest announcement came after reports in recent days indicated that the negotiations between Israel and Hamas had reached an impasse.
The Prime Minister’s Office said that “Netanyahu authorized a working-level delegation from the Mossad, Shin Bet and IDF to continue negotiations in Doha.”
The Israeli delegation reportedly departed on Friday.
A delegation from the Hamas terror group was also expected in Doha to continue the negotiations.
