Hamas in an official statement: "Despite the Israeli refusal, we are discussing the brokers' proposal for a hostage deal" The outline presented by the head of the CIA tries to make the organization more flexible in terms of the number and identity of the prisoners it wants to release from the Israeli prison. In the center of the outline - 40 abductees live in exchange for Israeli concessions on the return of residents to the northern Gaza Strip.
While Israel tends to accept the American proposal, it is not yet clear whether Hamas will agree to it.
