Hamas specifies conditions for releasing U.S. hostage, delivering hostage bodies

Cairo, Mar 16 (UNI) The Hamas movement has stipulated that the release of an Israeli prisoner with U.S. citizenship and the delivery of the bodies of four other hostages is contingent upon the opening of the Rafah Crossing, the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip and an extension of the ceasefire for approximately two months.
The conditions were proposed by a Hamas delegation that arrived in Cairo on Friday for negotiation, an informed Egyptian source confirmed to Xinhua Saturday.
The source added that Hamas also required a direct transition to the negotiations of the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, which entails a permanent cessation of hostilities.
