Hamas spokesperson said that talks are going on with Israel under the mediation of Qatar. However, Hamas did not clarify how many Palestinians are imprisoned in Israeli jails and how many people Israel will release.
Historical conflict
This is the latest chapter in the Israel-Palestine conflict. In the late 19th century, a Jewish movement emerged in Palestine demanding a homeland for the Jews. Support for a Jewish state increased after World War II as the genocide of the Jews became fully visible to the public. It was decided to divide the British-controlled areas of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states. But soon after this a war started between the Jews and the Arabs.
