(Worthy News) – Talks on a hostage release deal involving the US, Egypt, Israel, and Qatar ended without an agreement on Tuesday. The Israeli delegation has since returned to Israel, however discussions are scheduled to continue over the next three days.
An official from the Prime Minister’s Office announced that the Israeli delegation returned from Cairo after meeting with CIA Director William Burns, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, and Egyptian officials to discuss a framework for a ceasefire.
An Israeli official reported that the delegation, headed by Mossad Director David Barnea and Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar, attended the meeting primarily “to listen,” indicating that they did not present a new proposal during the discussions.
Despite the delegation’s return, the discussions were described as “positive” by Egypt’s Al-Qahera News, quoting a senior Egyptian official. The negotiations are set to continue for an additional three days.
“The meeting witnessed a review of the developments of the current situation,” according to an statement issued by Egypt’s information service, and “confirmed the continued consultation and intensive coordination to achieve the goals of the ceasefire, the protection of civilians and [work toward a] two-state solution, in a manner that enhances efforts to establish security and stability in the region.”
