Netanyahu agrees to return to discussions on the swap deal. Israeli delegation includes Mossad head David Barnea and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar.

This comes after the cancellation of a meeting - scheduled for last night - of the Israeli War Council, following disagreements regarding the powers of the negotiating team. Ministers Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot protested against the procrastination in completing an exchange deal, according to what the broadcaster reported. Netanyahu added, "I am very disappointed that Washington renewed a contract regarding the American military base in Qatar"
