The movement declared the day of the release to be a Palestinian national wedding and celebration, and believed that the Diaspora proved their political and national bonds, along with their shared concern of their rights, and those of the detainees.

They congratulated all of the Palestinian people in the world on the release of the detainees from the Israeli jails, in the first phase of the prisoner-swap deal.
.
In his turn to speak, Khaled Mashal, head of the Hamas Movement’s Political Bureau in Damascus, called on President Mahmoud Abbas to hold a meeting with Hamas in Cairo, to achieve national reconciliation, and learn from the way the talks were previously heading.

He assured everybody that the resistance is a good way to guarantee that the Palestinians demands are met, and claimed that the enemy only bends to pressure.

Mashal comforted the Palestinians, envisaging the day when of all the detainees will be released, and that the negotiations will be national, and not unilateral.
