"There is no link between the [Gaza] truce deal and [captured IDF soldier] Gilad Schalit," Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar said Tuesday during a press conference in the Strip.

Speaking after Hamas official Halil al-Haya outlined the details of the purported cease-fire agreement, Zahar said Hamas would not put down its weapons, because he did not believe Israel would implement the cease-fire. "We don't trust them, but let's see," he said.
