The Israeli delegation left for Qatar on Monday evening to negotiate the release of hostages by the radical Palestinian group Hamas in the Gaza Strip. This is reported by Ynet. The official said that efforts are being made to reach an agreement by the end of December.
"Most of the details have been agreed, but the main point of contention is the number of hostages to be released in the first phase," he said, adding that talks are now "focused on the number and identity of the hostages," the news source said.
