CIA Chief Burns Heads to Europe to Discuss Gaza Truce, Hostage Release with Qatar PM, Mossad Head

News 18  

The director of the CIA will meet in Europe with his Israeli and Egyptian counterparts plus the Qatari prime minister, aiming to negotiate a truce and hostage release in the Israeli-Hamas war, US media reported Thursday. The November hostage-prisoner swap occurred during a week-long truce under which some 100 people were freed by Hamas in exchange for 240 Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. Qatar, Egypt and the United States are attempting to negotiate a new truce, and US President Joe Biden’s Middle East envoy Brett McGurk is already in the region for talks. Vowing to crush Hamas, Israel launched a relentless military campaign that has killed at least 25,900 people in the Palestinian territory, mostly women and children, according to the Gaza health ministry.
