Israeli-Palestinian conflict – A thousand Palestinian detainees released in the event of a truce, in exchange for 33 hostages

After months of failed attempts to secure a truce in Gaza between Hamas and Israel accompanied by an exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners, mediation efforts by Egypt, the United States and Qatar now appear ‘today is well on its way to success.

“There has been real progress in the last two days,” said the Israeli official: “This time we can hope for good news, we are close to the goal, but not there yet.”

Israel will “not leave Gaza until all the hostages have returned, the living and the dead”, he added, specifying that there was no question of a definitive ceasefire, but temporary.
