Negotiations for ceasefire and prisoner swap 'progressing': Al Jazeera

Qatari-mediated talks to reach a ceasefire agreement and a prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Palestinian groups are "progressing rapidly", Al Jazeera reported on Friday, citing unnamed sources.

The report by the  Qatar-based network comes a day after Israeli outlets said Israel would be willing to pay a "big price" for the release of some prisoners held in Gaza.

It's unclear what that price will be, but some reports speculated it could include a temporary ceasefire, the release of some Palestinian prisoners held in Israel and allowing fuel into Gaza. 

At least 7,326 Palestinians, including 3,038 children, have been killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza since 7 October, the Palestinian health ministry said on Friday.

An additional 110 people, including 30 children, have been killed in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
