Israel rejects release of Hamas prisoners for truce — report

Palestinian television says Israel has rejected Hamas’s demand in the Cairo ceasefire talks to release 54 Hamas prisoners who were released in the Shalit exchange in 2011 and rearrested in recent weeks in the wake of the murder of three Israeli teens in the West Bank in June and the month-long fight in Gaza.

The Palestinian sources credit “Cairo sources” with the report.
