Israeli reports indicated that Mossad chief David Barnea will head to the Qatari capital, Doha, tomorrow, Monday, to continue negotiations on a prisoner exchange deal with Hamas.

This came as Al-Araby Al-Jadeed newspaper quoted a Palestinian source as saying that today, Sunday, is a decisive day in the negotiations, as the mediators succeeded in bridging the gaps, amid anticipation of an Israeli response.

The newspaper quoted the Palestinian source, who it said "preferred to remain anonymous," as saying that "the mediators were able to bridge the gaps between the two parties through compromise solutions."

He added that the mediators are awaiting the Israeli government's response tonight, after a meeting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold with a number of ministers and officials.

Netanyahu is meeting with his coalition partners later this evening, Israeli reports said; the Israeli delegation's plane had earlier left Doha, returning to Tel Aviv.

Israeli reports said Netanyahu invited Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Shas party leader Aryeh Deri to participate in the meeting.

Reports indicated that the meeting would discuss developments in the negotiations and the offer brought by the negotiating delegation from Doha, before Barnea heads to the Qatari capital to deliver the Israeli response.
