Hamas today approved a mediators’ proposal to resume negotiations by releasing an Israeli soldier who holds American citizenship and returning the bodies of four dual-national Israelis.

Hamas confirmed that its response included the “release of the Israeli soldier Edan Alexander, who holds American citizenship, in addition to the bodies of four others with dual nationalities.”
The group reiterated its “full readiness to begin negotiations and reach a comprehensive agreement on the issues of the second phase,” urging Israel to “fulfill its full commitments.”
