Israeli negotiating team has travelled to Qatar with Hamas, US and Arab officials all suggesting a deal may be within reach
Israel will remain on the strategic Mount Hermon site on the Syrian border until another arrangement is found, prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said. Israeli troops occupied Mount Hermon when they moved into a demilitarised zone between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights following the collapse of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government earlier this month.
Officials have described the move as a limited and temporary measure to ensure the security of Israel’s borders but have given no indication of when the troops might be withdrawn and defence minister Israel Katz last week ordered troops to prepare to remain on Mount Hermon over the winter. Netanyahu went to the site for an operational briefing with military commanders and security officials.
