Hebrew media: Israel is ready to make major concessions if Hamas agrees to an exchange deal. Suleiman Maswad, political affairs correspondent for the Kan channel, said that there is optimism among politicians regarding the ongoing negotiations.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir threatened Netanyahu to destroy the government, in a special meeting that took place last Sunday, to discuss the Paris negotiations regarding prisoners. The matter appears to be related to a long-term cessation of fighting, and to the quality and number of Palestinian prisoners who will be released as part of the deal.
