An Israeli delegation led by Mossad Director David Barnea has departed from Doha after a day of talks with Hamas, facilitated by Qatari and Egyptian mediators. While no breakthrough was achieved during this initial meeting, mediators remain hopeful for progress following weeks of deadlock.
The talks in Doha mark the first high-level discussions between Israel and Hamas in months. Despite facing challenges, the visit by the Mossad chief has been viewed positively by mediators, who express cautious optimism about the resumption of dialogue.
