Israel will free 20 Palestinian women prisoners in return for a video of a soldier held in Gaza, in a breakthrough in nearly three years of indirect talks with Hamas, officials said on Wednesday.
“The Israeli security cabinet decided to authorise the release of 20 Palestinian women detainees and prisoners,” the Israeli prime minister’s office said in a statement.
“Israel will receive updated and clear proof on the health and condition of Gilad Shalit. This proof of life will be handed to Israel by the mediators in the form of a videotape that has recently been filmed.”
