Report: One potential hostage deal would see release of women and minors

NBC News cites a US administration official confirming earlier reporting that a potential deal being discussed would see some 80 women and children held hostage by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza released in exchange for Israel freeing imprisoned female and underage terror convicts.

The official says that’s just one of the options and there’s “no certainty that any proposed deal will succeed.”

Some potential hostage deals are thought to have been scrapped after their details were published in the media before they could be finalized.
