US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Jared Kushner and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed on a compromise that would allow for the exile of the 100-200 Hamas terrorists holed up in Rafah tunnels on the Israeli side of the Yellow Line, a member of the security cabinet tells Ynet.

However, the plan is not moving forward because no country has agreed to take them in, according to the report.

The Prime Minister’s Office does not respond to a request for comment.

For weeks, Netanyahu’s office has asserted that it would not grant safe passage to the holed-up Hamas fighters.
