PARIS — A critical meeting on a potential second deal between Israel and Hamas to secure the release of 136 hostages in Gaza and allow for a pause in the war is now underway in Paris at a secret location.
CIA Chief William Burns, Mossad Chief David Barnea, Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Thani, and head of the Egyptian Intelligence Services Abbas Kamel are now holding closed-door talks.
It is unclear whether Maj.-Gen. (res.) Nitzan Alon, responsible for intelligence issues relating to the hostages in Gaza, is also participating in the meeting.
The Qatari and Egyptian teams arrived at the French capital on Saturday, with the Israelis and Americans arriving on Sunday. As of Sunday noon, no special activity has been registered either near the American embassy in Paris or near the residence of the American ambassador in the city.

Can Israel break hostage talks deadlock?
Barnea had reportedly traveled to Qatar several times since Oct. 7. On December 16, reports said that the chief of the Mossad met with Al-Thani in Oslo, but a later report by public broadcaster Kan said the meeting actually took place in Paris. It is not sure yet how long the parties will stay this time in the French capital for the talks.
According to KAN NEWS, the Israeli team aims at clarifying to their interlocutors that they “need to apply additional levers of pressure on Hamas” to accept what Israel would consider a reasonable deal.

“The purpose of this top-level meeting is to try and initiate a move; to bring up ideas, proposals, to break the deadlock,” it was said.
Reports in recent days have indicated that the sides have come closer to a deal, which should see Israel suspending fighting in Gaza for two months.
Hostages will be released in two or three phases. In the first stage, fighting will be stopped for 30 days, with women, elderly men, and hostages injured or sick will be released. At the same time, Israel and Hamas will finalize the details of the second phase, during which the fighting will be suspended for an additional 30 days.
It is unclear whether female soldiers will be released as part of the first phase or apart. The last to be released would be male soldiers and the bodies of deceased hostages.
That being said, the main hurdle for a deal is the demand by Hamas that the deal will signal the complete ending of fighting in Gaza, a condition Israel rejects categorically. The proposal that Hamas leaders will leave the Strip to other countries is apparently no longer part of the deal being discussed.
Paul Craig Roberts: RIP, The Western World
Authored by Paul Craig Roberts,
I have come to the depressing conclusion that the white ethnicities that constituted the nations of Western Civilization have degenerated into such insouciance and stupidity that they have no possibility of survival.
They sit mindlessly in front of TV absorbing their brainwashing and indoctrination.
They can’t pay their rent, mortgage or car payments, but they pay endlessly for care of immigrant-invaders who are overwhelming their communities with material needs.
In the US, North Carolina, once a Southern state, now an immigrant staging ground, has given over its high schools to serve as immigrant-invader “resettlement areas.” To Hell with the North Carolina taxpayers. Immigrant-invaders’ rights preempt those of North Carolina taxpayers, whose majority white population, according to the narrative, consists of white supremacist racists exploiters.
North Carolina has also, at taxpayers’ expense, built a campus for a “head’s start” program for children of immigrant invaders. The program takes over a former school property for NC American citizens.
Wherever you look, you see the US welcoming at citizens taxpayer expense endless burdens from immigrant-invaders permitted to walk unheeded across the border into the Tower of Babel that the US has become. According to leaks, RINO Republican Senators are preparing an immigration bill that would force America to accept 1.8 million immigrant-invaders each year. Amazing to watch white people destroy their own country.
No one in America can do anything about it. Instead of stopping the invasion and over-running of the country, the US government commits endless American resources to defending the aggressively expansive borders of Israel and Ukraine, while Washington dismantles the barrier put in place to defend America’s borders. And the fool responsible for this policy is running for reelection as president with the media’s and America’s elites’ support.
In what remains of European ethnic countries, the director of the EU’s “border protection agency, Fronrtex,” Hans Leitjens, said that “nothing can stop immigrants.”
What he means is that the EU will not stop immigrant-invaders from bringing the Camp of the Saints to all of Europe and perhaps to Russia as well, considering the weakness demonstrated by a government that could be ruling the world.
The dumbshit Hans Leitjens, obviously a proponent of Western annihilation, says that opposition to being overrun by immigrant-invaders constitutes “xenophobia and prejudice.”
There you have it.
If white ethnicities attempt to prevent their overthrow by invaders, they are xenophobic and racist.
How did so many white ethnicities get converted to a point of view that doesn’t serve them?
The English Suffer While Immigrant-invaders Are Housed in Hotels.
This is what white people have learned to expect from “their” governments.
Don’t you think it is strange that the world’s white ethnicities are prepared to commit lives and endless resources to protect the borders of Israel and Ukraine, but nothing to protect their own borders?
How can people this totally stupid continue to exist?
