APAIMages - APAIMages CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza city - 6 April 2019. Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip Yahya Sinwar attends a consultation meeting with leaders of Palestinian movements in Gaza city.
STORYLINE - Hamas said on Tuesday that it has received from Israel a timeline for the implementation of ceasefire understandings that were reached with Israel.
Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas “political bureau,” said that his movement received the timeline from the Egyptian intelligence officials who returned to the Gaza Strip after holding talks in Israel about the ceasefire understandings.
Speaking to reporters in Gaza City, Haniyeh said that the Egyptians relayed to Israel a number of Hamas demands concerning Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.
The demands, he said, include removing signal-jamming devices installed by the Israel Prison Service to stop inmates from using smuggled cellular phones. Hamas is also demanding that the Israel Prison Service cancel sanctions imposed on the Palestinian prisoners after the stabbing of two guards two weeks ago at Ketziot Prison in the Negev.
Haniyeh did not provide details about the understandings, which are designed to ensure a restoration of calm after last weeks violent flare up in which a rocket launched from Israel Gaza destroyed a home in central Israel, injuring seven member of the same family. Haniyeh did not provide details about the understandings.
However, Palestinian sources said that the Egyptian-sponsored understandings include a number of steps that have already occurred, including the expansion of the fishing zone to 28 nautical km. and the reopening of the Kerem Shalom and Erez border crossings between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
The delivery of Qatari funds to the Hamas-ruled coastal enclave is also expected to continue.
