An Israeli delegation will depart for Doha Saturday night for meetings with Qatari mediators, however, senior Israeli officials have stated that this is merely a “symbolic warm-up trip” and is not expected to advance negotiations on the second phase of the hostage deal.
Negotiations for the second phase of the hostage deal were supposed to begin on Monday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, refused to send the negotiation team to Doha until after he met with US President Donald Trump.
Senior Israeli officials noted that the delegation traveling to Doha has not been given a mandate from the political leadership to conduct talks on the second phase of the deal. The trip appears to be primarily aimed at demonstrating goodwill toward the US administration, which pressured Netanyahu to send the negotiation team to Qatar.
The security cabinet will convene only on Monday to discuss Israel’s position in the negotiations and decide on the mandate for the negotiation team.
