The head of the Mossad, David Barnea, arrived in Paris to meet delegations from the USA, Qatar and Egypt earlier today on a possible agreement for the release of the hostages in Gaza.
This was confirmed by 3 sources cited by Haaretz.
Barnea will see the director of the CIA, Bill Burns, the prime minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and the head of Egyptian intelligence, Abbas Kamel.
On the negotiating table is a 2-month pause in the war in exchange for the release of over 100 hostages.
Israeli sources, cited by Canale 12, have however scaled back their expectations on the negotiations, underlining that the biggest obstacle to an agreement is Hamas' request that the Jewish state stop the conflict and withdraw completely from the Gaza Strip with the Islamic faction still in power in the enclave Palestinian.
