A deal is being mediated that would see Hamas transfer two bodies of killed captives to Egypt, in return for Israel releasing 301 of the 602 prisoners it was scheduled to release last Saturday, according to a report by Israel's Channel 12 on Monday.
Israel cancelled the release of prisoners despite Hamas releasing captives in Gaza. The group accused Israel of violating the ceasefire.
Israel has seethed at anger over Hamas's captive handover ceremonies, where it has displayed its organisational and military capabilities. Israel said its war aim was to eliminate Hamas.
The report said that the ceremonies would not occur if they went through Egypt.
