The head of the Mossad, David Barnea, visited Qatar this past weekend as part of the efforts to free the hostages held by Hamas, the Israeli Military Censor cleared for publication on Monday evening.
On Sunday, Kan 11 News reported that a business jet based in Israel and a number of senior Israelis returned from Qatar.
Al-Jazeera reported last week, citing unnamed sources, that negotiations mediated by Qatar are taking place in an attempt to reach a ceasefire agreement and a hostage-for-terrorist exchange deal between Hamas and Israel and are progressing rapidly.
Qatar, along with Iran, has also funded the murderous terrorist organization over the years.
Overnight Sunday, IDF soldier Ori Megidish was rescued by the IDF during ground operations in Gaza. Megidish was kidnapped by the Hamas terrorist organization during its October 7 attack on Israel.
The soldier was medically checked, is doing well, and has met with her family.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "Last night, our forces liberated Pvt. Ori Megidish from Hamas captivity. Ori was abducted on the black morning of October 7th. Welcome home Ori!”
“I commend the ISA and the IDF for this important and moving achievement, which expresses our commitment to bring about the release of all the hostages. The entire people of Israel salute the ISA and the IDF,” he added.
"To the terrorists of Hamas and ISIS I say – you are monsters. We will continue to pursue you. We will continue to hunt you. We will strike you until you fall at our feet," Netanyahu stated.
