More on Paris talks on Gaza ceasefire, release of captives
According to Israeli media reports, there are indications a deal has been reached in Paris that could see a six-week pause in the fighting in Gaza in exchange for around 40 Israeli captives and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners top be released from Israeli jails.
These are preliminary details, but Israeli officials are saying they are approaching this with cautious optimism. They say they now have an outline of a framework that they can move forward with in the negotiations. Israel’s delegation in Paris will present its report to Israel’s war cabinet.
But there are still a lot of sticking points, like which Israeli captives or Palestinian prisoners are going to be released, or how much humanitarian aid will be allowed into Gaza.
The US reportedly wants this deal to happen before the start of the Muslim holy month Ramadan, which is just more than two weeks away.
