In a recent update, Israel has officially acknowledged slight advancements in discussions surrounding a potential prisoner swap, according to a report by Israel Hayom.
Although there has been progress, the report emphasizes that no significant breakthroughs have been achieved thus far.
The negotiation efforts are being conducted concurrently by Egypt and Qatar, with Israel expressing optimism that a successful outcome may emerge from either of the two channels.
The report suggests that the completion of such a deal will require some time, but notes that expedited progress could occur if Hamas demonstrates increased flexibility.
Anticipating further developments, the War Cabinet is slated to convene on Sunday to deliberate on the prospect of a prisoner exchange. Additionally, the meeting will address considerations regarding the post-war scenario.
Kan 11 News reports that the War Cabinet has granted Mossad chief David Barnea the approval to proceed with the Qatari proposal. This proposal entails the release of numerous hostages in exchange for a substantial hiatus from hostilities, although not a permanent ceasefire.
