Report: Ceasefire deal will require Hamas to inform Israel about health of hostages who won’t be freed
Nurit Yohanan is The Times of Israel's Palestinian and Arab world correspondent
The proposed framework for a ceasefire and hostage release deal would require Hamas to provide mediators with information about the health conditions of the hostages not slated for release in the initial 60-day ceasefire period, the pan-Arab Al-Ghad news outlet reports.
In return, it says, Israel will be required to share information about the health of all Palestinian security prisoners arrested since the October 7, 2023, onslaught.
It adds that throughout the 60-day ceasefire, mediators Qatar, Egypt, and the US will guarantee a “serious” negotiation process, which if successful, would lead to the end of the war.
