Barnea was in Doha Monday but flew back home after talks were restarted following failed efforts to secure a truce before the holy month of Ramadan, which began last week.
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved an Israeli delegation led by Mossad head David Barnea to go to Qatar" on Friday, Netanyahu's office said.
Technical teams had remained behind after Barnea's departure to review details of a potential deal after the principal negotiators discussed the main issues.
Barnea is to meet CIA director William Burns, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani and Egypt's intelligence chief Abbas Kamel, Netanyahu's office said.
Israel's war on Gaza, now in its sixth month, has killed nearly 32,000 people, most of them women and children, according to the health ministry.
Meanwhile, Israel's siege of the territory has sparked a catastrophic humanitarian crisis that has pushed nearly all of the 2.4 million Gazans to the brink of starvation.
