Hamas says no plans to engage in talks until fighting ends

CAIRO: The Palestinian movement Hamas has informed all interested parties that it does not plan to engage in talks about the fate of its Israeli hostages as long as fighting continues, Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh said.
"We have informed all parties that the cases of our Israeli captives will not be opened until fighting ends," he noted, as cited by the Al Hadath TV channel.
Haniyeh added that "it will only be possible to resolve the issue of captive Israelis on Hamas terms."
