Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen as an envoy for "special missions" vis-à-vis the Gulf states. Against the backdrop of reports that Cohen also visited Qatar last weekend, Israel Hayom learned that Cohen came to the country to examine the possibilities of moving the population from Gaza towards Egypt, among other things.

The attempt to separate Gaza's population from the IDF's areas of operation also passes through the possibility of removing civilians, including those 500 American citizens who are staying there. Last night it was reported that the US is demanding that Israel allow the transfer of fuel to Gaza in return for its expenditure, but now it seems that there is an attempt to exhaust other avenues due to the opposition of most cabinet ministers to such a step.

In addition, he serves in another unofficial position alongside Gal Hirsch, who is in charge of the return of missing persons and prisoners. Cohen advises Hirsch on this issue but did not come to Qatar while the Mossad chief was in the country for a cross-discussion on the release of the prisoners.
The Prime Minister's Office did not receive a response.
