CIA Director Bill Burns is set to meet with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani and Mossad chief David Barnea in Warsaw to discuss efforts to reach a new hostage release deal with Hamas, KAN news reported on Monday.
A diplomatic source told KAN that the process "will be much more difficult than the formation of the previous deal."
According to the report, Israel is considering several options to secure the release of the hostages, including the release of terrorists who committed more severe crimes.
Long road ahead
Even if such a deal is put together, it will be a long and difficult process and the meeting in Warsaw is "just the start."
Israeli media reported over the weekend that Barnea and Al Thani had met in Europe to try and advance a hostage release deal.
