Israel Pulls Back Negotiating Team from Qatar, as Truce Talks Hit ‘Dead End’
News - Middle East: Israel says it has ordered its Mossad negotiating team in Qatar to return, following a deadlock in the talks on extending a truce with the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.
"Following the impasse in the negotiations and at the direction of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, David Barnea, head of the Mossad, ordered his team in Doha to return to Israel," Netanyahu’s office said in a statement on Saturday.
The statement further accused Hamas of failing to fulfill its obligations under the truce agreement.
Qatar is mediating efforts to secure a renewed pause in the ongoing war in the besieged Gaza Strip. The Mossad team spent about a week in Qatar to take part in talks aimed at achieving a temporary pause in the deadly onslaught.
United Nations agencies and other international organizations have condemned the Israeli regime for resuming its intense bombings of Gaza, which have killed nearly 200 Palestinians over the past two days.
