Israeli Delegation Heading to Doha to Continue Hostage Talks

(JNS) At press time, an Israeli delegation was set to head to Doha, Qatar to continue talks on a Gaza ceasefire agreement, according to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office.

The delegation, comprising officials from the IDF, Mossad and Israel Security Agency, returned on Tuesday, August 27 from a round of negotiations in Cairo.

The high-level Cairo talks ended on Sunday without a deal, but discussions continued on Monday with lower-level officials to attempt to bridge the remaining gaps.

“In Doha, the delegation is expected to meet with representatives of Egypt, Qatar and the United States who are continuing the negotiations and work with Israel and Hamas,” according to Israel’s Channel 12.

U.S. Special Coordinator for the Middle East Brett McGurk held talks on Tuesday in Doha with senior Qatari leaders ahead of Wednesday’s negotiations, the Associated Press reported, citing a U.S. official.

According to the Channel 12 report, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held several discussions about the deal in recent days before and after the Cairo talks, with the participation of Mossad chief David Barnea.
