The announcement was made by the Prime Minister’s Office on Saturday.
However, it remains unclear when Mossad chief David Barnea plans to travel to the Qatari capital Doha, where the latest round of indirect negotiations between Israel and terror-labeled Hamas are being held.
Barnea’s presence, as a high-ranking official, is believed to add weight to the talks as he could approve a possible deal.
Israel is also sending, among others, the head of the Shin Bet security police to Doha.
Only one brief cease-fire has been achieved in the 15 months the war has lasted, and that occurred in the first weeks of fighting.
The talks, in which the US, Egypt and Qatar have acted as mediators, have since repeatedly stalled.
Of the roughly 250 Hamas hostages who were taken to Gaza during the terrorist attack on October 7 last year, around 100 people remain in Gaza, of which roughly a third have been confirmed dead by Israel’s military. At the same time, over 46,500 Palestinians are said to have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza.
Families of hostages still held in Gaza are pushing Netanyahu to reach a ceasefire agreement.
