Negotiations with Hamas remain stalled over prisoner swap

Disagreements between Israel and Hamas over the hostage swap remain significant, despite pressure from the Washington administration. Hamas refuses to release the number of hostages required by Israel in the first stage of the deal.

In addition, Hamas insists on the withdrawal of IDF units from the territory of the Rafah checkpoint and the Netzarim corridor, which divides Gaza into two equal parts. In addition, Israel and Hamas are unable to agree on the number of Palestinian terrorists who will be released as a result of the implementation of the first stage of the deal.

At the same time, the daily press reports about imaginary progress in the negotiations. The media claim that the parties are “closer than ever” to concluding agreements.
