Hamas Agrees to Free Just 18 Hostages unless Israel Ends the War

(Ynet News) Einav Halabi - Hamas says it will only free 18 hostages unless Israel agrees to end the war, according to a report on CNN. The report said Hamas refused to release only live hostages in the first phase of the deal. It also demanded that Israel would not be able to oppose the freeing of any prisoner from its jails, and that Palestinians released by Israel would be allowed to remain in the West Bank and not be exiled to Gaza. Hamas wants 30 Palestinians freed - up from 20 - for every Israeli hostage released and 50 - up from 40 - for every female soldier. Israel said Hamas has put forth a radical proposal, which it was turning down.
