Senior Hamas official Mousa Dudeen has categorically denied that a delegation from his Movement headed for Cairo to hold talks with Egyptian officials about an intended prisoner swap deal with the Israeli side calling news reports in this regard as “untrue.”
In press remarks on Thursday Dudeen affirmed that the news reports that talked about such visit by a Hamas delegation to Cairo and achieving a breakthrough in alleged talks about a swap deal were fabrications.
Israel’s Channel 12 claimed on Wednesday that a delegation from Hamas including a military official traveled to Cairo to start talks with Egyptian mediators about a prisoner swap deal with the Israeli government.
