Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved the participation of Mossad's director in critical ceasefire talks in Qatar, spotlighting potential progress in Gaza conflict negotiations. Netanyahu's office announced the move, indicating high-level involvement crucial for any forthcoming agreement.
