The discussion focused on the outcomes of the urgent U.S. visit. Netanyahu and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer\u2014who is handling the negotiations\u2014told Cabinet members that \u201cthere have been changes and progress in Hamas\u2019s position regarding a new deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2090\" data-end=\"2626\">Netanyahu and Dermer noted that proposals are currently being formulated between the U.S. and Egypt, and are approaching a level that Israel might accept. These proposals relate to the number of living Israeli detainees to be released and the number of Palestinian prisoners to be freed from Israeli prisons as part of the agreement. A political source speaking to Channel 13, without being named, stated that the ongoing negotiations are moving toward a concrete proposal that &#8220;includes the release of more than five living detainees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13675\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13675\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13675 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hamas-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"Palestinian resistance\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hamas-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hamas-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hamas-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hamas.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13675\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hamas Egypt negotiations<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"23\" data-end=\"90\">Gaza Death Toll Rises as Ceasefire Talks Continue Behind the Scenes<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2628\" data-end=\"2844\">Since the Israeli military resumed its war on Gaza on March 18, 1,542 Palestinians have been killed and 3,940 injured, according to the latest statistics released Friday by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2846\" data-end=\"3229\">Also on Friday, the Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee responsible for following up on developments in Gaza held a meeting on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomatic Forum in Turkey.
