The head of Israel's spy agency is to return to Doha Friday to meet with his US and Egyptian counterparts and Qatar's prime minister for ongoing Gaza truce talks, Israel said.
Barnea was in Doha Monday but flew back home after talks were restarted following failed efforts to secure a truce before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which began last week.
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved an Israeli delegation led by Mossad head David Barnea to go to Qatar" on Friday, the Israeli premier's office said.
Technical teams had remained behind after Barnea's departure to review details of a potential deal after the principal negotiators discussed the main issues, AFP reported.
Barnea is to meet CIA director William Burns, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani and Egypt's intelligence chief Abbas Kamel, Netanyahu's office said.
