Channel 12 news said a senior Israeli official would lead the team, while the Ynet news site reported this would be Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, who is said to have led normalization efforts over the past year. The Prime Minister’s office said that National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat would lead the preparations for the talks “in coordination with all the relevant parties.”
The statement gave no details on when the talks would take place or who would lead the delegation. Some aspects of the normalization agreement may be signed during the visit, Channel 12 said. It also said the sides would schedule a meeting between the leaders of the two nations to take place within the next few weeks. US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he believed a deal-signing ceremony at the White House could take place in about three weeks. -Full Report
