Israeli media has been reporting in some detail the potential framework for a deal between Hamas and Israel that could lead to a ceasefire, Al Jazeera reports.

Since then though, there has been no concrete response from Hamas to any of those proposals.

Israeli media is also reporting that a delegation from Israel arrived on Monday in Doha, the capital of Qatar, and Al Jazeera Arabic is reporting that it had spoken to sources who have outlined further details about what this framework deal could consist of.

They include the possibility of a prisoner swap involving 400 Palestinians currently in Israeli detention being swapped in return for around 40 Israeli captives. That would include women, children, older men and those who might be suffering from medical conditions. It would involve the repositioning of the Israeli military to allow more people to move freely through the Gaza Strip.
