Maariv newspaper: Israel is stubborn in the truce negotiations and time is running out. Disagreements in the Israeli government caused negotiations to falter.
Israel estimates that there are more than 125 prisoners in Gaza, while it holds at least 8,800 Palestinian prisoners in its prisons, according to official sources from both sides. A truce previously prevailed between Hamas and Israel for a week from November 24 until December 1, 2023, during which a ceasefire took place and a prisoner exchange took place.
