TOP HAMAS OFFICIAL TAHER A-NOUNOU:

The occupation is publishing misleading news about progress in negotiations and the presentation of new offers.

We have not received any new proposals regarding an exchange deal within a ceasefire agreement.

We are ready to release all prisoners in exchange for an exchange deal, a cessation of the war, and the reconstruction of Gaza.

The administration of the Gaza Strip is a Palestinian matter, and we do not accept the presence of any external administration or foreign forces.

The resistance’s weapons are not up for negotiation and will remain as long as the occupation remains.

The captive Alexander says: We truly believe that we will return home dead; there is nothing to say, there is no hope. Every day I see that Netanyahu controls the state like a dictator.

I heard three weeks ago that Hamas was ready to release me, and you refused and left me. Everyone lied to my people, the Israeli government, the American administration, and the army.

President Trump, I believed that you would succeed in getting me out of here alive.

RAFAH MUNICIPALITY:

We reject and condemn the Israeli Minister of Defense’s announcement of annexing the governorate to the so-called security zone.

The occupation’s decision is a blatant violation of international legitimacy resolutions that affirm the sanctity of the occupied Palestinian territories.

Despite Israeli Offer Claims, Hamas Reports No New Ceasefire Proposal

HAMAS STATEMENT:

The increasing calls within the occupied entity to stop the war and release the prisoners confirm Netanyahu’s responsibility for its continuation.

The equation is clear: the release of prisoners in exchange for stopping the war. The world accepts it, and Netanyahu rejects it.
