August 9, 2008 The Qassam Brigades, the
armed wing of Hamas, highlighted Friday that
its demands regarding the release of Israeli
soldier Gilad Shalit are nonnegotiable,
calling on Israeli officials not to waste time
and money if they think talks in this regard
can make change.
Commenting on the visit of Israeli war
ministry official Amos Gilad to Cairo on
Thursday in an attempt to negotiate the
release of Shalit, Abu Obeida, the spokesman
for the Brigades, said that the Brigades would
never change its demands, even if Gilad
traveled the world, adding that he has to
spare money spent on travel tickets.
Abu Obeida stressed that the armed wing has
clear conditions, warning that the file of the
Israeli soldier would be closed if Israel
persisted in its intransigence.
The spokesman underlined that the Brigades
has learnt lessons from the previous swap
deals conducted with the Israeli occupation.
In another context, the Salahuddin
Brigades, the armed wing of the popular
resistance committees, warned Friday that the
truce between the Palestinian resistance
factions and the Israeli occupation might
collapse and end in three weeks.
Abu Attaya, the spokesman for the Brigades,
stated that the Israeli occupation did not
respond to the truce requirements agreed upon
which stipulated that Israel would open the
crossings and stop its aggression; thus, the
Palestinian resistance is getting prepared for
a next stage of fighting especially in the
light of Israeli threats of resuming its
military assaults on the Gaza Strip.
Abu Attaya pointed out that the issue of
Palestinian prisoners represents a priority to
the Brigades, adding that it has no other
choice but to capture Israeli soldiers in
order to exchange them for Palestinian
prisoners. |
