Report: The POW Deal will not Include the Release of Hamas Prisoners

The "Wall Street Journal" today (Monday) published new details about the prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hamas, which they claim will not include the release of Hamas prisoners from Israeli prisons.

According to the report, Hamas demands that the deal be carried out in several stages - with Israel releasing teenage terrorists from prison in the first stage. Egyptian officials said that the prisoners who will be released will not be connected to Hamas. In return, Hamas will immediately release 50 abductees from the Gaza Strip, who will be women and children.

The second phase will include a five-day ceasefire, with each day Hamas will release 10 more hostages. The terrorist organization also agreed not to separate families when releasing the prisoners, in accordance with Israel's demand. However, Hamas also demands an increase in humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, and the cessation of intelligence flights over the Gaza Strip during the ceasefire.
