Part of what has made Barnea crucial is the high respect accorded to him by all of the key players.
Gantz made the statements amid complaints that Netanyahu was making decisions concerning efforts to reach a ceasefire and hostage release deal with Hamas on his own without consulting the War Cabinet
"Also today, we are in the heat of a war, the Mossad, like 50 years ago, is obligated to settle the score with murderers who invaded the Gaza corridor on October 7."
The proposal would include the release of 40-50 hostages in exchange for a ceasefire lasting a few weeks.
Barnea: the war will only end when Hamas lays down its arms and hands over all those responsible and involved in the massacre on October 7.
There has been no order preventing Barnea or the Mossad from returning to Qatar to restart hostage negotiations.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum said that they feel like the government is playing "Russian roulette" with the hostages.
Recent developments are drawing greater attention to the agency's role in the region.
Every day, Barnea will receive a list with the names of the hostages who will be released the following day, according to N12.
The outcome of the talks between the American and Israeli intelligence agency heads with the Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman al-Thani was unclear.
