CIA Director Bill Burns will meet in Europe with his Israeli counterpart, David Barnea, in the coming days in a bid to revive stalled indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas. Egyptian and Qatari mediators may also attend the meeting.
The news was first reported by Axios' Barak Ravid on Thursday, citing US and Israeli officials, and comes weeks after ongoing diplomatic efforts mediated by the United States, Egypt and Qatar to reach a truce and hostage-release deal in Gaza appeared to hit an impasse.
Burns has been the lead US negotiator trying to broker a truce between the two warring sides in recent months.

Wonder if regime change in Israel is going to be part of that discussion.
Or...
Maybe "please don't get so po'd at the blatant antisemitism on display by members of the US government that you invoke the spirit of Simon Weisenthal".
Or...
Sorry about the dustup. Don't wipe out one side of the both sides we've been playing. We need the continued conflict to exist.
There is only one way this ends... HAMAS disappears. Period!
Jerusalem needs to stop meeting with all these meddlers and just finding the job of cleaning out the Fakestinian Occupation pwriod.
Not one of these talks has led to anything good, they’re just wasting time or rather trying to give the Fakestinian’s more time to regroup and attack again.
> CIA Director Burns heads to Europe… <
One can only hope that Burns can keep his impulses in check, and does not start any wars or coups along the way.
(Just kidding, CIA. Please don’t arrange for my brakes to fail the next time I’m driving on a mountain road.)
That’s funny..stalled talks
Might as well talk to a wall as talk with ham ass.
I’m sure the Fuzzy Muzzies are going to work with the Great Satan CIA director. ROTFLMAO!
Burns is an old 20th century DC fixture. Doubtful he has any ideas that haven’t been tried and found wanting 40 years ago.
Maybe I am just stoopid.
But why the he!! is the director of CIA involved in negotiating anything with another country??
Shouldn’t that be left to diplomats and statesmen {or statespersons, I guess}, not spies?
He should dug up Arafat’s corps and have a serious pow wow.🥸
Make sure bill clintoon is there too.
He should dig up Arafat’s corpse and have a serious pow wow.🥸
Make sure bill clintoon is there too.
Im a little stumped by that one also.
How could either party accept the American director of the CIA as being an honest broker? But isn’t this more of a job for the State Department? Maybe Blinkin is too busy playing guitar to tend to business.
He’s no spy, he’s just another long-time foreign policy apparatchik of the leftist persuasion. Representative of the approach to foreign policy thinking that has failed in the Middle East for the past 60 years.
I’m sure Arafat was buried face down.
This particular three-letter agency mentioned in the title does not exist to accomplish anything peaceful or favorable for peace-seeking nations.
Their mission is to sow death and chaos.
Negotiate with Hamas?
No. Destroy Hamas.
Shouldn’t he be helping negotiate HAMAS surrender, hostage release, and turning over everyone involve in the October 7th savagery?
Most of Al-Monitor’s writers can see right through this Hamas Crap.
They are a respected media in most of the Middle East.
They can also see right through the UN and the EU nonsense.
