"Israel is no longer negotiating with the Hamas disputants, but with Sinwar himself," a senior political official told Walla this morning (Sunday).
The head of the delegation, which will leave for Doha in the next few hours, is the head of the Mossad, Dedi Barnea, who will be joined by the head of the Shin Bet, Ronan Bar, and the former head of the operations division, Maj. Gen. Nitzan Alon. The same political source says that the mandate given to the delegation is clear, after yesterday it was given only A general mandate. "The negotiating team didn't get everything it asked for," he said. "But it did get boundaries, and conditions that allow effective management of the negotiations."
The political party revealed that the existing framework for the abductee deal is the release of 40 abductees in exchange for 42 days of respite.
"Hamas' proposal is difficult, it insists on difficult components that are not acceptable to Israel, therefore a determined negotiation is required," he explained. "Every change of comma and full stop has to reach the Hamas tunnels and back, so it takes up to 36 hours.
If the negotiations bear fruit, it will take at least two weeks."
