To negotiate, Hamas says Israel must first free prisoners
Hamas leader Yihya Sinwar says the terror group will negotiate with Israel through a mediator if the Jewish state first releases Palestinian prisoners freed during the 2011 Gilad Shalit prisoner swap who have since been rearrested by Israel on terror charges.
That precondition has been rejected by Israel.
Israel is seeking the release of two Israeli citizens and the bodies of two IDF soldiers killed in the 2014 Gaza war.
