Hamas is going to hand over to Israel bodies of all the deceased hostages it would be able to found in the Gaza Strip, Political Bureau member of the Palestinian movement Musa Abou Marzook said, APA reports.

"All the provisions of the [ceasefire] agreement pertain to general issues, which are required to be clarified, and negotiations are to be held," he said on the air with Al Jazeera Mubasher, answering the question whether the timeline exists for Hamas to transfer the remains to Israel.

"As regards the bodies of hostages, we committed to transfer all the bodies we have and the ones we will find," Abou Marzook said. Hamas "does not want to retain the bodies" and hopes "to solve the problem as quickly as possible," he stressed.

"The United States keeps an eye on performance of the ceasefire agreement and we expect fairness and neutrality from them," the Hamas official added.
