Thedevelopment follows reports that Egypt may help resolve the issue of theremaining Palestinian prisoners, which threatens the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
Israel’sChannel 12 said a proposal was on the table for Hamas to transfer the bodies oftwo Israeli hostages to Egypt in exchange for Israel releasing 301 Palestinianprisoners. If implemented successfully, the same arrangement could be repeatedfor two other deceased hostages, allowing Israel to release another 301prisoners as part of the final batch under the first phase of the Gazaagreement, the channel added.
The transferof Israeli hostages’ remains through Egypt could help prevent a repeat of lastThursday’s public display by Hamas, when the group released four bodies—a movethat angered Israeli officials. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahupostponed a scheduled prisoner release.
