GAZA, (PIC)-- Spokesman for Hamas's parliamentary bloc Dr. Salah Al-Bardawil denied news reports about achieving a substantial breakthrough in the prisoner swap talks brokered by Germany and Egypt.
Bardawil explained that the prisoner swap talks are taking place away from the media and there is no real information on any progress, noting it is premature to talk about a specific date for the signing of an agreement in this regard.
As for the national reconciliation, the lawmaker ruled out the possibility of signing the Egyptian paper before taking into account the reservations of his Movement.
For his part, Ziyad Nakhala, the deputy secretary-general of Islamic Jihad, stated Wednesday that the declaration of a Palestinian state in Algeria in 1988 was a kind of illusion and the PA’s intention to declare it again would revive the same illusion.
In a press statement to Al-Jazeera net, Nakhala highlighted that the independence of Palestine would only be achieved through the liberation of land, supporting the resistance and upholding the rights, and not through making concessions.

Friday, June 26, 2009Is Hamas About to be Fooled, Again, by the Pharaoh? I am Almost Certain, the Answer is Yes!
Shalit Transfer to Egypt Imminent as Part of US Initiative
Al-Manar
"26/06/2009 Captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit will be transferred to Egypt within a few days as part of a swap deal with Hamas, Haaretz quoted European diplomatic sources as saying Thursday. The move is part of a new United States initiative that includes Egyptian and Syrian efforts with Hamas, internal Palestinian reconciliation and Israel's opening of the Gaza crossings.
According to the Israeli daily, a reliable European source said this Egyptian-brokered agreement was reached two days ago. A Palestinian source confirmed the report last night but officials in Tel Aviv denied any knowledge of it.
The idea to transfer Shalit to Egypt in exchange for the release of Palestinian women, teens, cabinet ministers and parliamentarians being held in Israeli prisons was raised about a year ago during a visit by former U.S. president Jimmy Carter to Damascus, occupied Jerusalem and Gaza. Apparently Carter raised it again on his visit earlier this month, during which he met Noam Shalit, Gilad's father.
According to the plan Shalit will be entrusted to Egyptian intelligence
[How can the Hamas fools fall for this? Egyptian "intelligence" is inseparable from the Mossad. Might as well give him directly to the Mossad and say that, "Hamas trusts the goodwill of the Mossad!" What fools!] , and his parents will be allowed to visit him. He will be returned to Israel after an agreement is reached regarding the list of Hamas detainees to be released that was previously submitted to the cabinet.
The European source said Shalit's transfer to Egypt was the first stage of the Egyptian-brokered agreement hammered out between Fatah, Hamas and other Palestinian factions, in coordination with the U.S. and with Syria's support.
The deal would put the Gaza Strip under the leadership of a joint committee subordinate to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas......
Israel this week freed Palestinian Legislative Council Speaker and Hamas member Aziz Dweik after three years in prison.[I am sure that this was a part of the deal]....."
