Gaza, MINA – A senior source in the Hamas Movement revealed Tuesday that the group has demanded the release of the last Israeli captive be synchronized with the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, the source said Tuesday evening marked the end of the second day of indirect negotiations between mediators and the Hamas delegation in Sharm El-Sheikh.
According to the source, discussions on the second day focused on withdrawal maps and a timeline for the phased release of Israeli captives.
Hamas negotiators insisted that each stage of prisoner release must correspond with a parallel phase of Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza.
