NBC News quoted a source familiar with the Paris talks regarding a prisoner deal between the Israeli occupation and the Palestinian resistance, saying that negotiators from Israel, the United States of America, Egypt and Qatar “agreed on a framework for a new deal.”

According to the source, the agreement includes “the release of the remaining American and Israeli prisoners in Gaza,” in stages, starting with women and children, and this will be accompanied by a gradual cessation of fighting and the delivery of aid to the Gaza Strip, in addition to the exchange of Palestinian prisoners.

The network reported that a draft of the agreement will be presented to Hamas on Monday, explaining that the movement insists on an immediate and permanent ceasefire first, “which could lead to the failure of the deal,” according to NBC.

For his part, the political commentator on the Israeli Channel 12, Amit Segel, said that the details of the deal include, in its first phase, a 45-day truce, in exchange for the release of 35 Israeli prisoners.

For every Israeli prisoner, between 100 and 250 Palestinian prisoners are freed, including prisoners classified by the occupation as “dangerous,” according to what Siegel added.

He explained that this means liberating 4,000 to 5,000 Palestinian prisoners, which is the highest number of prisoners to be liberated in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The deal also includes “significant humanitarian assistance,” according to the Israeli commentator.

What NBC reported came after Israeli officials spoke, on Sunday, of “making progress” regarding an agreement on the framework of the deal. In this context, the Office of the Prime Minister of the Occupation Government described the meeting as “constructive,” noting that “there are major gaps.”
