Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal said Saturday he was prepared to return to negotiations over the release of captured IDF soldier Gilad Schalit.
But Mashaal said Hamas would not back down from its demands. 'If one soldier isn’t enough to release our prisoners, we will do everything to capture more soldiers,' he said.
Mashaal also spoke of the blockade on the Gaza Strip, saying it was in its final days. He added that 'resistance' groups in the West Bank were preparing for renewed operations against Israel."
