The head of the Mossad is expected to arrive in Warsaw today for a tripartite meeting with the Prime Minister of Qatar and the head of the CIA in order to hold discussions on another deal for the release of hostages.

The head of the Mossad, David Barnea, ordered his team in Qatar to return to Israel, following the deadlock in the negotiations for the release of the abductees. The Prime Minister's Office clarified that "the terrorist organization Hamas did not fulfill its part of the agreement, which included the release of all children and women."

In the background of the talks for the extension of the ceasefire and the release of additional hostages, Qatar landed three planes in Egypt with 108 tons of humanitarian equipment that will be transferred to the Gaza Strip.

At a meeting held in Qatar between the Prime Minister of Qatar, the head of the CIA, the head of Egyptian intelligence and the head of the Mossad, Barnea made it clear that Israel will not discuss further deals until all the women and children are returned.

According to the international press, Israel and Qatar are taking advantage of the remaining days of truce in the current agreement to release the hostages, and negotiations are taking place regarding another deal for the release of men and soldiers.

The head of the CIA, William Burns, arrived in Qatar, where he is expected to meet with the head of the Mossad, David Barnea, and the Prime Minister of Qatar, with the aim of formulating an "extensive deal" for the release of hostages - which will also include men and soldiers.

The spokesman for the Qatari Foreign Ministry said that his country is working to extend the ceasefire beyond the two days agreed upon last night, but clarified that "it depends on Hamas confirming that it can release a larger number of hostages."

The spokesperson of the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on social media that the parties reached an agreement in negotiations, and that the ceasefire will continue for at least two more days.

During the release of the abductees last night, drama occurred when Hamas announced that it had not found Hilla Rotem Shoshani's mother - her wife, and Mia Regev's brother - itay, and offered to release other women instead. Israel refused.

After a 5-hour delay, Qatar announced that Hamas would release the second batch of captives this evening: 13 Israelis and another 7 foreign workers. Fighter jets flew over the southern Gaza Strip to signal Hamas.

The chief mediator between Israel and Hamas regarding a deal to release the hostages announced that the deal would go in effect Friday.

A war cabinet meeting was bumped up in the wake of American and Qatari reports of a breakthrough and optimism on both sides

The Prime Minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, referred to the talks on a prisoner exchange deal and said that "our confidence in reaching a deal is increasing, and the negotiations are related to logistical matters - and not to the substance of the agreement. The gaps that remain are very small."

Qatar is exerting heavy pressure to pursue a deal for 50 women and children from Hamas captives in exchange for a three-day respite from the fighting. Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed yesterday that "if and when there is something concrete to report on, we will do so".

Antony Blinken, American Secretary of State, spoke with Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, about the Israel-Gaza war and the situation in Gaza.

Reuters reported that Mossad head David Barnea and CIA head William Burns held a tripartite meeting with the Prime Minister of Qatar and discussed the terms of a possible agreement for the release of the abductees and a cease-fire in the fighting in Gaza.

A political figure addressed the issue of the captives this evening and stated that the Mossad is in contact with Qatar. After the war, Israel will have security control over Gaza, and Netanyahu himself is busy with managing the war and not with his future.

After Netanyahu blocked the discussion of shutting down the broadcast of Al Jazeera in Israel, it was decided that the network will continue broadcasting. The reason for this decision is Qatar's involvement in the issue of releasing the captives.
