The Times of Israel reported on Saturday that the United States has proposed that Hamas release 10 of its living prisoners in exchange for extending the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip for two months.

The newspaper added that the talks between the United States and Hamas are taking place without the participation of Israel and with Egyptian and Qatari mediation.

Earlier today, the Palestinian Quds News Network quoted Hamas spokesman Abdul Latif Al-Qanou as saying that there are “positive indications” regarding the completion of the implementation of the ceasefire in Gaza, and that Egyptian and Qatari mediators are making efforts to achieve this.
