Hamas announces condition for new prisoner exchange
Hamas Political Bureau member Osama Hamdan stated that their primary condition for a new prisoner exchange with Israel is a complete cessation of attacks on Gaza.
Hamdan spoke about Israel's attacks on Gaza and the possibility of a ceasefire during a press conference held at the Hamas office in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.
Stating that there has been a lot of talk recently regarding initiatives and proposals for prisoner exchange negotiations, Hamdan said, "Hamas's clear position here is this: the Nazi (Israeli) criminal attacks against our people must stop."
Saying that the people of Gaza are not waiting for a "temporary ceasefire" that Israel would violate with further massacres, Hamdan added, "On the contrary, they expect a comprehensive cessation of attacks.
There is no mature initiative regarding a ceasefire yet, and the occupation army is trying to change tactics to move backward." he said.
The Hamas official noted that approximately 21 thousand civilians have been killed and 54 thousand civilians have been injured so far in the attacks Israel has carried out on Gaza since October 8.
