Israel has accepted the United States of America's proposal for a prisoner-hostage exchange with Hamas, a Palestinian organisation. According to the terms of the agreement, Israel will free around 700 Palestinian detainees, including 100 who are serving life sentences for killing Israelis. In exchange, Hamas will release 40 Israeli hostages detained in Gaza.

According to CNN and Channel 11 (Kan News), Israel is making big concessions to return the abducted Israelis home. However, some concerns remain unresolved, including humanitarian aid distribution and Israeli military activities in Gaza, reported ANI.
