Israel is sending a delegation to Doha, Qatar, to resume negotiations on a hostage agreement in the Gaza Strip. The team includes officials from Mossad, Shin Bet, and the IDF. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the visit, and the Hostages and Missing Families Forum supports the decision. Previously, Qatar halted its mediator role due to disagreements between Israel and Hamas. There is cautious optimism for a deal after a deadly Hamas attack in October 2023, which resulted in over 1,200 deaths and more than 250 hostages taken.
