Hamas: No Link between Zionist Soldier's Case and Ceasefire

Hamas Movement has once again announced that there is no link between the release of Zionist regime's soldier, who has been captured by Palestinian combatants, and the conclusion of the ceasefire agreement. The Spokesman for the democratically elected Palestinian government, Taher Al-Nono, reacted to Zionist regime's premier Ehud Olmert's refusal to sign the ceasefire agreement without the release of the captured Zionist soldier. The Palestinian official underlined that there is no link between these two topics.He underscored that the Zionist regime only tries to provide the security of the residents of southern occupied territories and to release the captured Zionist soldier and is indifferent toward the demands of Palestinian nation.He mentioned Hamas Movement's demands, namely the complete stoppage of ground, aerial and sea assaults against Gaza and re-opening of border crossings for entry of needed goods to Gaza Strip.
