Muhammad Nazzal, a member of the Hamas political bureau, confirmed in an interview for Al Mayadeen that  Hamas leadership met with relevant Egyptian officials in Cairo to discuss Al-Quds, emphasizing that Al-Quds is the "center of the conflict with the Zionist enemy."

Nazzal expressed to Al Mayadeen that Egyptian and Hamas officials held the issue of the Prisoners at the forefront of their discussions. 

He pointed out that after completing the "Shalit deal" 10 years ago, Hamas aspires to complete a new agreement that releases the largest amount of Palestinian prisoners, explaining that the movement has developed a comprehensive and detailed plan.

Hamas, according to Nazzal, is determined to release the largest number of Palestinian prisoners, including the 6 prisoners of the Gilboa Prison escape.

Sources told Al Mayadeen on Saturday, that progress has been made between Hamas and the concerned Egyptian officials in Cairo.

According to the sources, Hamas pledged to uphold the calm in the Gaza Strip as long as the Israeli occupation maintains it. "Consolidating the calm is part of the agreement to establish the mutual ceasefire," Hamas said.

Hamas set two conditions for upholding the state of calm:

1. The vehicles of the Israeli Occupation Forces do not encroach on the Palestinian territories on the eastern borders of Gaza

2. The Israeli occupation stops opening fire on Palestinian farmers. Hamas also underscored freedom of movement in the so-called buffer zone along the Gaza Strip's borders.

The movement also gave the Egyptian intelligence the roadmap for the prisoner exchange deal with the Israeli occupation, the sources said. "Hamas' roadmap for the prisoner exchange deal is for it to take place over two phases, but the deal is stuck," they added.
