GAZA, Nov. 6 (Xinhuanet) -- Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip Mahmoud Al-Zahar said on Sunday that Hamas has set three major conditions for renewing a truce with Israel.

    Al-Zahar told reporters that the conditions are ending Israeli military offensives against the Palestinians, releasing all prisoners in Israeli jails and improving the Palestinian situation by ending corruption and chaos.

    He threatened to give up the truce, which will expire at the end of this year, if the conditions are not met, "Hamas this time will not accept any free ceasefire agreement in a new round of dialogue among Palestinian factions due in Cairo at the end of November."

    He said when the factions agreed on the current truce in March,"we set the same conditions, but unfortunately these conditions were not fulfilled."

    Leaders of Hamas and other 12 factions reached a ceasefire deal on March 17 in Cairo.

    Meanwhile, deputy chief of Egyptian intelligence Mustafa al-Beheiri has sent invitation letters to leaders of Palestinian factions for dialogue in Cairo under Egypt's sponsorship.

    Palestinian sources said the aim of the dialogue is to renew the truce with Israel before it ends. Enditem
