Israel agrees to US compromise on number of Palestinian prisoners to release in hostage deal – report
The Israeli delegation conducting negotiations in Qatar has agreed to a compromise proposed by the US regarding the number of Palestinian prisoners that will be released in a potential temporary truce and hostage release deal, Hebrew media outlets report.
According to the reports, one of the main sticking points preventing Israel and Hamas from reaching an agreement was the number of Palestinian prisoners Hamas was demanding Israel release in exchange for the hostages — with the terror group demanding a higher number than Israel was willing to release.
While Israel has agreed to the compromise, Hamas has yet to respond, the reports add.
