Israel has offered to release between 700 to 800 Palestinian prisoners, including 100 criminals convicted of murder, in exchange for 40 hostages in Gaza, according to Israeli media outlets.
Israel offers to release 800 Palestinian prisoners, including 100 murderers in hostage deal, after rejecting 'unrealistic' idea weeks ago
Several outlets, including Channel 12, suggest at least 700 prisoners could be included in the exchange, including dozens who are serving life sentences for killing Israelis. Hamas is expected to take a few days to go over the deal before its delegation in Cairo and Gaza make a decision. November’s short-lived deal saw the ratio set at just three prisoners for every one hostage freed. All of the Palestinian prisoners freed were women and minors.
