Zahar: Hamas will reject Schalit deal if Israel tries to change terms

A senior Hamas leader in Gaza said Friday evening that Hamas would reject every existing agreement on a prisoner trade for kidnapped soldier Gilad Schalit if Israel tried to change the terms of the deal. Mahmoud Abbas said that Israel has already agreed to free 450 Palestinian prisoners before Schalit is transferred back to Israel from Gaza, and another 550 once the exchange is completed.
