Egyptian-mediated talks between Israel and Hamas on a possible prisoner swap deal have stalled, with the two sides remaining firm in their demands, the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya news channel reports.
Citing unnamed sources familiar with the negotiations, the report says Israel is refusing the Gaza-ruling terror group’s demand to release 1,000 prisoners and that several other issues remain unresolved.
