Qaddoura Fares, the head of the Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Authority, mentioned in an interview with Roya that the potential prisoner exchange deal might involve releasing 350 children and 82 Palestinian women.

He expressed concerns about the possibility of those released being re-arrested, highlighting that this wouldn't be the first exchange deal with Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, Tel Aviv sources informed CNN that the proposed prisoner deal includes releasing three Palestinians for every captive held by the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip.

In response from Tel Aviv, Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, a member of Hamas' political bureau, stated that the movement is awaiting the Israeli Occupation's response to the humanitarian truce agreement in Gaza.

Al-Hayya mentioned the substantial efforts by Qatari and Egyptian mediators and expressed hope for an agreement after Hamas provided its response.

Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Hamas political bureau, declared that they are close to reaching a truce agreement with the Israeli Occupation in Gaza.

In a statement via Hamas' Telegram account, Haniyeh conveyed that the movement has responded to Qatari and mediator inquiries and anticipates reaching a truce soon.

Izzat al-Rishq, a member of the Hamas Political Bureau, affirmed that the movement is nearing a truce agreement and expressed hope for its realization in the near future.
