The long-standing prisoner and ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have finally begun to gain momentum. According to news in the British press yesterday, Hamas has accepted the US’s offer to meet with Israeli prisoners. Following these developments, Israeli President Isaac Herzog made important statements on the subject.
