Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the negotiating delegation to head to Qatar following in-depth discussions with military and security officials.

The delegation will address strategic issues including a prisoner exchange deal and ceasefire agreement.

The delegation will be led by Mossad chief David Barnea and will include top Israeli officials such as Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.

The talks are set to focus on the implications of a potential agreement on the Northern Front against Hezbollah and the situation with the Yemeni Armed Forces.

Netanyahu is prioritizing the Gaza region until the upcoming US elections are over.

Israeli media reports have indicated concerns within the security establishment about losing leverage in negotiations, particularly regarding the Netzarim corridor.

Military affairs correspondent Nir Dvori emphasized the importance of acting swiftly to secure the return of captives and prevent pressure from international actors to evacuate the corridor.

With tensions high and opportunities closing, Netanyahu's decision to send the negotiating team to Qatar signals a crucial moment in ongoing negotiations with potential far-reaching implications.
