No agreement without Israeli withdrawal from Egypt-Gaza border: Hamas

Senior Hamas political leader Khalil al-Hiya told Al Jazeera that there will be no agreement on the release of captives or a ceasefire unless Israeli forces withdraw from the Gaza-Egyptian border and the so-called Netzarim corridors that bisects the Gaza Strip in two.

Regarding the ongoing negotiations, Hiya added that "several technical committees continued the discussions, but [Hamas] did not take part in them, and they did not reach any results."
