David Barnea, head of the Mossad, and Ronen Barr, his Shin Bet counterpart, are currently in Cairo
Israeli intelligence chiefs are currently in Cairo for negotiations on a deal to release hostages held in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman told AFP late Friday.
David Barnea, head of the Mossad, (foreign intelligence service) and Ronen Barr, his Shin Bet (internal security service) counterpart, are currently in Cairo, where they are “negotiating to advance a deal to release the hostages ” said Omer Dostri.
Israel’s prime minister, however, denied reports that his government was considering agreeing to deploy an international force along a narrow strip of land on the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, the so-called “Philadelphia Corridor.”
“Prime Minister Netanyahu insists in principle that Israel will control the Philadelphia Corridor to prevent Hamas from rearming, which would allow it to repeat the atrocities of October 7,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement.
