Hamas’s leader in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, says the Palestinian terror group is ready for an “immediate” prisoner swap with Israel.
“We are ready to conduct an immediate prisoner exchange deal that includes the release of all Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails in exchange for all prisoners held by the Palestinian resistance,” Sinwar says in a statement.
