Netanyahu bars his defense minister from holding talks with Mossad chief on Israeli detainees: Report
ANKARA (AA) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stopped his defense minister from holding separate talks with the director of Israel’s Mossad spy agency on efforts to secure the release of Israeli detainees in Gaza, the local media has reported.
Israel’s Channel 12 cited government sources which said that Yoav Gallant has been barred from meeting with David Barnea when Netanyahu is not part of the discussion.
Channel 12 also said that Gallant invited Barnea to attend meetings and received messages from Netanyahu’s office that the premier disapproved.
The offices of both Netanyahu and Gallant denied the report.
Netanyahu’s office, however, said in previous statements that only the war cabinet has the authority to decide on the matter of prisoners and those missing.
The Mossad was engaged in reaching the previous week-long suspension of attacks on Gaza under which a prisoner swap was implemented between the Palestinian resistance group Hamas and Israel.
According to the Israeli media, there are still about 130 Israelis being held in Gaza.
