Hamas weigh new Israeli offer on prisoner swap
[Al Arabiya Latest] A German mediator gave Hamas on Wednesday Israel's response to a proposed swap freeing hundreds of jailed Palestinians for a captured soldier, and the Islamist group said it would need days to review the new draft.
"The German mediator gave the Israeli proposal to the Hamas movement today during a morning meeting," Taher al-Nunu, a spokesman for the Hamas-run government, told AFP.
"Hamas is studying this proposal at all levels and when it has a response it will contact the mediator," who has left Gaza, he added.
