Report: Hamas withdrew demand to add prisoners to Shalit deal

Palestinian sources close to the Shalit deal negotiations told Ynet that Hamas has withdrawn its demand to include 10 additional female prisoners in the swap. The sources said that Hamas "admitted to their mistake. Demands must be submitted before a deal is signed, not after."

According to the sources, Hamas' negotiators were the ones to submit the list 27 female prisoners. Israel approved the list. (Elior Levy)
