Mossad Chief's Secret Doha Meeting Underscores Israel's Demand for Comprehensive Hostage Exchange

  • On August 14, 2025, Mossad Chief David Barnea held talks in Doha with Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani to address negotiations concerning hostages in Gaza and a potential ceasefire.
  • The meeting followed stalled talks and Israel's recent rejection of partial hostage-release deals, with Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasizing that no compromises will be accepted.
  • Simultaneously, Hamas leaders held ongoing discussions in Cairo with Egyptian officials aiming to ease tensions and explore a comprehensive ceasefire amid continued Israeli military plans.
  • Israel's security cabinet approved accelerating the Gaza City takeover to end the war, while Netanyahu stated they seek the return of all hostages, "both the living and the dead."
  • These developments suggest that without substantive progress in negotiations, Israel intends to proceed militarily while diplomatic efforts continue with Egypt and Qatar as mediators.
