BEIRUT, (PIC)-- Osama Hamdan, Member of Hamas's political bureau and its representative in Lebanon, denied news reports that captured IOF soldier Gilad Shalit was moved to Egypt to complete a prisoner exchange deal.

He told al-Jazeera television that these reports are completely baseless and only aim to pressure Hamas during the ongoing negotiations about the details of deal and to demoralize the relatives of the Palestinian captives.

He said that talks are still ongoing through the German mediator trying to reach the deal that has been announced by the movement, which is to work for the release of a bout a thousand Palestinian captives, in addition to all female and childe captives in Israeli jails, adding that it was too early to talk about details of the deal.
