Israeli media: Netanyahu opposes the exchange deal, and the army is unable to reject it. Israeli analysts' opinions varied, in their daily discussions, about the possibility of the Council of Ministers approving a new prisoner exchange deal with the Palestinian resistance.
Israeli media relied on reports that Israel had agreed to the mediators’ proposal for a deal that would include, in its first phase, the release of women, the elderly and the sick, in exchange for thousands of Palestinians. The head of Hamas's political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, said that the movement had received the Paris meeting's proposal and would study it to respond.
