An Israeli delegation has arrived in the Qatari capital, Doha, to discuss the technical details of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, the Ynet portal reported.
According to him, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a delegation to be sent to Doha following the release of three Israeli hostages by radicals in the Gaza Strip on Saturday as part of the ceasefire agreement. The delegation includes representatives from the Mossad intelligence agency, the General Security Service and the Israel Defense Forces, as well as Israel's coordinator for abducted and missing persons, Gal Hirsch.
As reported by the state-run Kan TV, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will return to Israel on Sunday after a week-long visit to the United States, where he met with White House President Donald Trump. On February 11 or 13, the prime minister will hold a cabinet meeting dedicated to negotiations on the second phase of the Gaza hostage deal.
The second phase involves the release of the remaining hostages and the full withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip. On February 1, Netanyahu's office announced that he had agreed with US President Donald Trump's special envoy for the Middle East, Stephen Witkoff, to begin negotiations on the second phase during a visit to Washington on February 3. The next day, Netanyahu's office announced that Israel would send a delegation to Qatar by the end of the week.
