Mossad team recalled from Qatar talks as Israel, Hamas not close to another cease-fire, Yingst says

Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst reported Monday that Israel and Hamas are not close to reaching another cease-fire deal. 

Yingst, citing regional sources that are directly familiar with the negotiations, said on “Fox & Friends” that a team from Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency was in Doha, Qatar on Saturday as the Qataris were trying to get another agreement together between the two sides. 

But that team was recalled back to Israel by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the director of Mossad after talks collapsed, Yingst said. 

He noted that one source stressed that just because Israeli are not in Doha doesn’t mean talks can’t continue, but Hamas over the weekend said it is unwilling to exchange further hostages until the war inside Gaza ends – something Israel’s military has been vowing to continue until Hamas is eliminated.
