The Palestinian group confirms that it would be willing to provide a list of the names of people who could be released in the first phase after the ceasefire, but not a complete list of the identities of the hundred hostages still held being in captivity.
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on Wednesday blamed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for again boycotting an agreement to release the hostages after he tried to impose new conditions.
Hamas explained in a statement that the agreement was “available” until “the occupation raised new issues and conditions” regarding the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip, the ceasefire, the release of Palestinian prisoners and the return of those displaced by the Gaza Strip. to attack.
“We have shown responsibility and flexibility,” Hamas said. On the other hand, he charged, this is not the first time that Netanyahu has obstructed ceasefire negotiations and hostage exchanges for Palestinian prisoners.
According to some Israeli media, Hamas allegedly refused to provide a list of the names of the hostages as demanded by the Israeli government, which left the negotiating table on Tuesday after more than a week of intensive meetings in Doha, the capital of Israel Qatar, with mediation of the United States and Egypt.
However, Hamas sources suggest that the Palestinian group would be willing to provide a list of the names of people who could be released in the first phase after the ceasefire, but not a complete list of the identities of the hundred hostages who are still in captivity.
