Saleh al-Arouri, deputy of Hamas, said that Hamas was ready to complete a prisoner exchange deal, but at a price the occupation must pay.

During an interview with Al-Aqsa Channel, Al-Arouri added that the occupation is not ready to pay the price required for the release of information related to its soldiers and stressed that there are no serious actions by the occupation towards the completion of an exchange deal.

On another topic, Al-Arouri pointed out that the responsibility of the nation, the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian people is to stop excavations at the Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, warning that attacking Al-Aqsa might trigger a global explosion.
