Progress made in prisoner swap deal with Hamas, coalition MK says

Progress has been made in the prisoner swap negotiations with Hamas, Labor MK Emilie Moatti claimed during a Saturday morning Shabtarbut event.

Moatti said a report received three weeks ago caused reason for optimism.

"[The negotiations] are delicate and confidential and some moves are being made that I cannot elaborate on," the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee member said. "I am optimistic that they will soon come home."
