“For the hostages still in Gaza, there is only one solution: a deal between Israel and Hamas,” former hostage Andrei Kozlov said in a videotaped speech. While Hamas was in power, he and his fellow prisoners were allowed to watch television reports of the weekly demonstrations in Israel. That gave them courage and confidence. “You are heroes.” Kozlov and three other hostages were freed by the Israeli army in a major operation a week ago.
Hamas for peace plan
