A Hamas official, Osama Hamdan, told a televised press conference that Hamas will not discuss the fate of Israeli captives until Israel ends its aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip and on Palestinians.
"Our stance with regards to Israeli army captives is clear: it's related to a (possible) exchange of prisoners, and we will not discuss it until Israel ends its aggression on Gaza and Palestinians," he said.
