The aim of the talks is for Israel and the Palestinian group to agree on a cessation of hostilities in Gaza, which would last less than a month, in the hope that it would lead to a more lasting agreement, the source said, quoted by BTA .
The details of which or how many hostages and prisoners will be released as part of the deal are not yet clear, he added.
