Hamas says solution reached over release of Palestinian prisonsers

Feb 25 (Reuters) - Hamas said on Tuesday it has agreed during a visit to Cairo on a solution to end the delay of releasing of Palestinian prisoners.

The solution is to release the Palestinian prisoners simultaneously with the bodies of the killed Israeli hostages who were agreed to be handed over during the first phase, the Islamist militant group said in a statement.

Hamas said its delegation, led by the group's Gaza chief Khalil Al-Hayya, has reiterated commitment to the ceasefire agreement "with all its stages and clauses."

"They (Palestinian prisoners) will be released simultaneously with the bodies of the Israeli prisoners (hostages) agreed to be handed over during the first phase, in addition to the corresponding Palestinian women and children," Hamas said.
