Security sources said today (Friday) that Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, had lowered the threshold conditions to advance a POW and missing persons deal.

According to the sources, Sinwar is ready to be flexible about the conditions it has set for years for an exchange deal between security prisoners and the bodies of soldiers Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul.

"There is a much better chance here for years of promoting a deal mediated by Egypt," said one of them.



Sources estimate that Hamas' compromise in the negotiation process stems from the leadership's huge fear of the corona spreading.

"They understand that the only country that can help them against the corona is Israel and they should thaw relations, move forward in the POW and missing persons deal. Then it will be easier to help them in other areas such as infrastructure, economy and workers leaving for Israel," they explained.

Perhaps this is in view of the huge concern about the spread of the corona in the Gaza Strip, which lacks medical personnel and appropriate equipment.

"Perhaps the understanding has finally sunk in Hamas that there is no Israeli public legitimacy today to release prisoners with blood on their hands, but on the other hand there is a real intention and desire on the Israeli side to move forward in the process."

Israel is waiting for their bodies to be returned.
