Palestinian Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Ziad al-Nakhala, set to lead a delegation to Cairo next week following Egypt's invitation, declared on Wednesday that his group would negotiate the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza only in exchange for the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
"We are going to Cairo with a clear vision - to stop the aggression, the withdrawal of enemy forces from the Gaza Strip, and reconstruction," he said.
"Prisoner exchanges will be conducted on the principle of 'all for all', in a political process agreed upon by the Palestinian forces, led by Hamas." (Einav Halabi)
