Hamas politburo leader Ismail Haniyeh told a Tuesday news conference with writers and intellectuals that the terror organization has made three demands of Israel regarding Hamas security prisoners held by Israel, according to Maariv. "First, removal of disruption of [cellular phone] reception in prisons. Secondly, the abolition of the sanctions imposed on the prisoners in order to guarantee them a dignified life and, in addition, the return of visits for the prisoners. "
The cellular disruption is a measure to keep prisoners from directing Hamas terror efforts. An Egyptian delegation is supposed to transfer the demands to Israel and present the timetable for implementation of the understandings. Haniyeh's deputy said, "Some of them will be implemented before the elections in Israel."
