The group, which included Mossad spy company chief David Barnea; Shin Bet safety company head Ronen Bar and the federal government’s coordinator of operations within the Palestinian territories, Ghassan Alian, returned to Tel Aviv due to disagreements with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stated the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

“The departure of the delegation to Cairo is the result of heavy American pressure on Israel and Egypt in recent days to continue negotiations on the hostage deal despite the assassination of the head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh,” Israeli news web site Walla stated earlier, quoting unnamed sources.
Haniyeh was assassinated Wednesday within the Iranian capital of Tehran. While Hamas and Iran blamed Israel for the killing, Tel Aviv has not confirmed or denied accountability.
The killing got here hours after Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut.
Hamas and Iran have vowed to retaliate for Haniyeh’s assassination, whereas Hezbollah pledged to answer Shukr’s killing.
