Netanyahu continues to deny: "There will be no release of security prisoners" Political officials involved in the efforts to reach a deal for the release of hostages say that the end of the war is not on the agenda. Practically speaking, Israel expects to see what Hamas' answer will be in the meetings that will be held tomorrow (Wednesday) in Cairo.
In these talks, Egypt and Qatar will present to Hamas representatives abroad the general principles of the deal, as Israel agreed to them. If Hamas answers in the affirmative, actual negotiations will begin on the practical details.
