Israel has said it is ready for a prisoner swap with Hamas in line with US President Donald Trump\u2019s peace plan.
\nThe announcement came hours after the Palestinian armed group signaled its acceptance of parts of the proposal.
\n\u201cIsrael is prepared for the immediate implementation of the first stage of Trump\u2019s plan for the immediate release of all the hostages,\u201d Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s office said in a statement on Saturday.
\n\u201cWe will continue to work in full cooperation with the president and his team to end the war in accordance with the principles laid out by Israel, which correspond with Trump\u2019s vision for ending the war,\u201d it added.
\nThe statement did not address Trump\u2019s call for Israel to halt its strikes in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Under Trump\u2019s plan, Hamas must release all remaining hostages within 72 hours after Israel suspends military operations in Gaza and withdraws its troops \u201cto the agreed upon line.\u201d
\nOnce the hostages are freed, Israel would release 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and 1,700 Palestinians detained after October 7, 2023.
\nAn apolitical, Hamas-free transitional government will be established in Gaza, which is intended to become \u201ca deradicalized, terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.\u201d
\nLate on Friday, Hamas released a statement saying it was ready for a prisoner swap in accordance with the proposed formula and in principle had agreed to hand over power in Gaza to an independent government \u201cbased on the Palestinian national consensus and based on Arab and Islamic support.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
