The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas assured in the early hours of this Sunday that there will be no negotiations on the exchange of hostages and prisoners without the fighting taking place in the Gaza Strip between the organization and the Israeli Army ceasing.
According to a statement from Hamas to which the Israeli media Ynetnews.com had access, the Palestinian faction opposes starting negotiations on the release of the Israeli hostages it holds in Gaza.
The statement ensures that “Hamas confirms its position that there will be no negotiation on any prisoner exchange agreement unless the aggression against the Gaza Strip is completely ended and the conditions of resistance are met.”
According to Hamas, this position was conveyed to all mediators in the negotiations with Israel.
On the other hand, the Government and the Israeli Army took responsibility on Saturday for the mistaken death of three hostages in Gaza due to shots fired by Israeli soldiers, amid growing pressure from the families of those kidnapped for a new truce that would allow them to be released. after 71 days of war.
“The State of Israel regrets the tragic death of three of our kidnapped people,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an appearance after relatives insisted on a new truce in the Israeli military offensive to bring them home.
“We will learn the lessons,” the head of Government assumed, but without giving up his position of maintaining the relentless military operation on the Palestinian Strip. With EFE
