Hamas outlines prisoner exchange deal in truce proposal

Hamas has submitted a new two-stage proposal that includes the release of Israeli captives in exchange for freedom for Palestinian prisoners, 100 of whom are serving life sentences, according to a Reuters report.

In the proposal seen by the news agency, Hamas said the initial release of Israelis would include women, children, the elderly and ill captives in exchange for the release of 700-1,000 Palestinian prisoners. The release of Israeli “female recruits” is included.

Hamas also reportedly said it would agree on a date for a permanent ceasefire after the initial exchange, and that a deadline for an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza would be agreed upon after the first stage.

It added all detainees from both sides would be released in a second stage of the plan.
