The prestigious media outlet Reuters reports that Qatari mediators were seeking on Wednesday to negotiate a deal between Hamas and Israel that includes the release of about 50 civilian hostages from Gaza in exchange for a three-day ceasefire, an official on the negotiations told Reuters.

The deal, under discussion, which has been coordinated with the US, would also see Israel release some Palestinian women and children from Israeli prisons and increase the amount of humanitarian aid allowed into Gaza, the official said.

It would mark the biggest release of hostages held by Hamas since the Palestinian militant group swept over the Gaza border, attacked parts of Israel and took hostages in the enclave.

Hamas has agreed to the general outlines of the deal, but Israel has not and is still negotiating the details, the official said.

It is not known how many Palestinian women and children Israel will release from its prisons as part of the deal under discussion.

The scope of the Qatar-led negotiations has changed significantly in recent weeks, but the fact that talks are now focused on the release of 50 civilian prisoners in exchange for a three-day ceasefire and that Hamas has agreed to an outline of the deal are not previously reported.

The wealthy Gulf state of Qatar, which has ambitious foreign policy goals, has a direct line of communication with Hamas and Israel. Previously, he helped mediate the ceasefires between the two./ CNA
