Israeli officials stated on Saturday that the Israeli government is still far from reaching a prisoner swap agreement with Hamas.
According to a report on Israeli state television KAN, unnamed Israeli officials shared their views on the ongoing negotiations for a prisoner swap.
The officials mentioned that there are still significant issues in the talks between Israel and Hamas, and that the situation is far from moving toward a mutually acceptable formula.
