10 terrorists for every 1 hostage: All the details of the proposed prisoner swap Israel National News
Document reveals: Prisoner swap would see release of around 40 women, elderly, and ailing, in exchange for hundreds of convicted terrorists; six-week ceasefire.
Feb 24, 2024, 9:10 PM (GMT+2) – Channel 13 News revealed on Saturday evening a document with the principal points of a potential prisoner swap deal between Israel and the Hamas terror group.
Hamas has not yet said whether it would agree to such a deal.
The deal would include the release of around 40 hostages – women, elderly over age 50 or 60, and the ailing – in exchange for hundreds of convicted terrorists, as well as a six-week ceasefire.
The proposal also says that Israel will agree to release, in exchange for certain categories, more terrorists than were agreed upon until now. A foreign source said that Israel is willing to hold negotiations regarding the release of terrorists who were released in the 2011 Shalit deal and re-arrested following continued terror activity.
Under the proposal, Israel will also show significant flexibility on humanitarian issues, both regarding rebuilding Gaza and regarding allowing residents to return to northern Gaza. Israel will not, however, commit to ending the war.

According to Kan News, the agreement would include one day of ceasefire in exchange for every hostage released, as well as the release of hundreds of convicted terrorists at a rate of ten terrorists for every one hostage, and the return of Gazans to northern Gaza, and rebuilding Gaza.
Earlier on Saturday evening, a senior diplomatic source said, “We are still far from a deal, but Hamas has dropped some of its demands.”
Hamas official Abed Elrahman Shadid told a Qatari television station on Saturday that, “The discussions in Paris are nothing but self-negotiations, since Hamas is not part of them.”
“The statements by [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu send clear messages that Israel is not serious about its attempt to make progress on the matter of a prisoner swap. We are not a part or party to the meetings in Paris, and they did not report any progress to us.”

Netanyahu: We will approve plans for Rafah operation Hezki Baruch
PM Netanyahu says Cabinet will meet to approve plans for Rafah operation, evacuation of Gaza civilians.
Feb 24, 2024, 10:16 PM (GMT+2) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday night spoke about the progress in talks for a prisoner swap deal to free the Israelis kidnapped to Gaza on October 7.
“We are working to achieve another deal to free our hostages, as well as eliminating Hamas battalions in Rafah,” Netanyahu said. “Therefore, I sent a delegation to Paris, and we will speak this evening about the next steps in the negotiations.”
Netanyahu also emphasized that Israel intends to operate in Rafah: “At the beginning of the week, I will gather the Cabinet to approve the plans for operational action in Rafah, including evacuating the civilian population from there. Only the integration of military pressure and firm negotiations will bring about a release of our hostages, the elimination of Hamas, and the achievement of all of the goals of the war.”

The proposed deal would see a first stage in which 35-40 hostages are released: women, children, the elderly, and the ailing (including young ailing). One report defined “elderly” as over 50, while another defined it as over 60.
In exchange for these hostages, Israel will agree to a ceasefire of several weeks, without committing to ending the war. The negotiators hope to utilize the ceasefire for negotiations regarding a more comprehensive deal which would extend the ceasefire.
The negotiators also hope to finalize the agreement within the coming two weeks, so that it takes effect before the start of Ramadan on March 10.
Meanwhile, reports say that hundreds of convicted terrorists, including those with blood on their hands, will be freed in exchange for the Israeli hostages.

The Israeli delegation returned from the talks in Paris “there is progress in all parameters, an outline was reached that could be the basis for advanced negotiations”
According to sources, the gaps between the parties have narrowed significantly, the talks are over
• The release of about 40 hostages in exchange for hundreds of terrorists imprisoned in Israel
• A 6-week respite from fighting
All this is at the stage of talks and there is no agreement yet.
