None
In an interview with Al Arabiya, deputy Hamas Politburo Chief, Dr. Mousa Abu Marzouk said that there was no news with regards to the Gilad Shalit deal. According to Marzouk the stories claiming an exchange deal was imminent were baseless and "influenced the prisoners' relatives."
He explained that the Hamas' wish was that the "issue remain far from the media's attention". He added that only when Israel gets serious in its deliberations will the other sides be ready for dialogue." (Roee Nahmias)
