Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday sent his negotiating team, led by Mossad chief David Barnea, to Doha to continue indirect negotiations with the Palestinian Islamic terrorist group Hamas for a deal to release hostages held in the Gaza Strip.

In addition to Barnea, the head of Shabak, the internal intelligence agency, Ron Bar, the government's liaison with the hostages' families, General Nitzan Alon, and Netanyahu's top political adviser, Ofir Falk, will also travel to Qatar, the Prime Minister's Office said.

“This afternoon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a discussion to assess the situation of war hostages and missing persons with the Minister of Defense, the heads of the military and security establishments, as well as representatives of the current and incoming US administration,” the statement said.

The news comes as rumours that a deal could be imminent are gaining momentum, with Hamas sources even telling Arab media that talks are “essentially complete” and all that remains is for mediators to get the green light from Netanyahu.

Earlier, Netanyahu met with Steve Witkoff, US President-elect Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, who takes office on January 20. He has insisted he wants to end wars in which the United States is involved, such as the one in Gaza, and threatened the Hamas terrorist group with turning the Strip into "hell on earth" if it does not release the hostages by then.

“We call on the delegation: This is a historic opportunity to secure the release of all our loved ones,” said the Hostage Families Forum, which this week buried the last two captives whose bodies were rescued by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

These bring the total number of captives rescued by Israeli troops to 40, while 34 of the 96 hostages remaining inside the Gaza Strip are confirmed dead. A total of 117 hostages have escaped alive out of the 251 abducted by Hamas on October 7, but only eight in IDF military operations.

“Leave no stone unturned and return with an agreement that guarantees the return of all hostages, every last one: the living for rehabilitation and the deceased for a proper burial in their homeland,” they added.

So far, only one week-long truce agreement has been reached, in November 2023, in which 105 hostages were exchanged for 240 Palestinian prisoners for various crimes; while a ceasefire is now being negotiated in phases, and in the first of which 34 hostages would be released, also in exchange for an undetermined number of Palestinian terrorist prisoners.

    It was already known that Biden was preparing his farewell against Israel.

    Biden finally made his farewell public,
    consisting of sanctioning by limiting the supply of artificial intelligence chips used in the defense of Israel.

    The Vatican and countries associated with the Nazi two-state policy were surprised by the surrender of Jerusalem to BERGOGLIO/the Vatican Jesuits with the Hamas massacre on October 7, 23, and the war between Israel, Hezbollah, Huties, etc.
    , because the universal God gave Israel protection according to his will.

    That's why they are so angry with Israel and the universal God.

    It is known that the Vatican contributed strongly to Biden's arrival at the White House. That is why this last missile fired by Biden against Israel before leaving the White House, is to thank the Jesuits/Vatican who co-govern with Biden in the White House.

    So much so that Biden has just released 10 billion dollars withheld from Iran after the US sanctions and embargo against Iran for nuclear development, which most likely, said amount, will be used for the manufacture and rearmament of Iran, and its toxic fundamentalist proxies.

    Israel can now be sure that Biden always played it crooked, like hares moving their backs when running. “Palla y paca” because Biden always tried to limit Israel’s progress and existential defense by pretending to support Israel.

    This means that the persecutory lodge delirium will continue, like the four Vatican Jesuit lodges that the lodges practice in their persecutory delirium of the saw stubbornly to tire out the persecuted, in this case Israel with wars and more wars, and with that, insist on concretizing the Vatican Nazi policy of the two states with Jerusalem for BERGOGLIO, and Palestine not fixed.

    As long as Israel remains in the hand of the universal God, there will always be victory for Israel….!!!!

    Psalm 91 says: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty………

    May God bless, protect, strengthen and give wisdom to Israel and Mexico always…!!!
