Hammering out hostage deal could take weeks, sources close to negotiations say - Exclusive

Finalizing the technical details of a hostage deal could take several weeks and there are many complex details to be worked out, including the highly contentious Philadelphi Corridor and the lists of who would be released, sources close to the negotiations told The Jerusalem Post.

“Even if both parties agree on the agreement,” the sources said, executing it, “requires a lot of detail. The main point that we want to achieve is that both parties agree to the overarching agreement, then we will go into the details,” the sources said.

“If we manage to secure an alignment on the main overarching theme of the agreement, the details will be much, much easier, but it will require time, a week or two of technical discussions,” the sources.

How long will the deal take?​

Others said the talks could stretch out for three weeks. A US official told reporters last week that both Israel and Hamas had agreed to the overall framework for a three-phase Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal unveiled by US President Joe Biden on May 31.
