Palestinian prime minister Ismail Haniya said on Tuesday that the ball was in Israel’s camp over a prisoner exchange deal for a soldier held by Gaza militants. “We are serious in our will to proceed with an exchange and we hope that negotiations will lead to the freeing of our detainees from the prisons of the Israeli occupier,” Haniya told reporters in Gaza City. “The ball is in Israel’s camp and everything now depends on the answer that Israel will give to the just Palestinian demand to free our prisoners,” he said. |
