Hebrew media reported on Saturday that "the Israeli war council will not meet tonight, which prevents the negotiation delegation from departing to Qatar before Monday." Channel 13 indicated that "the Israeli negotiation delegation's inability to travel to Doha is due to the failure to contact Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to hold the scheduled meeting on Saturday evening." They added: "The ministers are frustrated by their unsuccessful attempts to reach Netanyahu to schedule the meeting." Earlier on Saturday, Israeli media mentioned that "Mossad Chief Dedi Barnea will head to Doha on Sunday with the Israeli negotiating team to advance a hostage release deal."
