The Israeli media said that the potential deal between the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel for a ceasefire and prisoner exchange is closer than ever. Israeli Walla website reported that Hamas’ demand and condition in the negotiations for the army’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip had been accepted.

This comes with the launch of a new round of indirect negotiations between the two parties in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, while Hamas confirms its adherence to the position it presented to the mediators on March 14.
