Mahmoud Zahar told the AP Hamas will wait to see if Israel halts military actions and targeted killings before agreeing to the official cease-fire from the Egypt summit. He said Hamas remains committed to an earlier agreement with Abbas while monitoring Israeli moves and prisoner release criteria. Exiles in Gaza City report possible return home within weeks as discussions continue over broader prisoner releases.
