Qatari mediators have held urgent calls to try to negotiate freedom for Israeli women and children seized by the militant group and held in Gaza in exchange for the release of 36 Palestinian women and children from Israel’s prisons, a source briefed on the talks told Reuters.
Qatar’s foreign ministry confirmed to Reuters its involvement in mediation talks with Hamas and Israeli officials, including over a possible prisoner swap.
The ongoing negotiations, which Qatar has been conducting in coordination with the United States since Saturday night, are “moving positively” said the source, who has been briefed on them.
Gotta love media wording.
Both a prisoners of war, many are civilians on both sides. But one group have prisoners and the other have hostages.
It’s like one group called freedom fighters and the other terrorists. Just flip a coin and see where the other side is coming from.
And why are there children in prison in Israel?
I hate this world more and more everyday…
