CIA Director William Burns met on Tuesday with Israel's Mossad chief David Barnea and Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in Doha for talks on a possible second extension of the truce in the Gaza Strip, according to multiple news outlets.
The meeting tackled ways “to build on the progress of the extended humanitarian pause agreement and to initiate further discussions about the next phase of a potential deal,” a source briefed on the visit told Reuters.
Egyptian officials also attended the meeting, CNN reported.
No details of the talks have been made public so far but Burns is seeking the release of American hostages still held in Gaza. On Sunday, Hamas released a 4-year-old American dual citizen, Abigail Edan.
