GAZA, Palestine – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears unfased despite pressure from families of captives who have been protesting calling on the Prime Minister to go for a comprehensive ceasefire and end the genocidal war in Gaza.
Leader of the Islamic Resistant Movement, Hamas, Dr. Bassem Na’im said the movement is in receipt of families of captives voicing their rejection of partial deals, emphasizing the importance of moving towards a comprehensive exchange deal, even if it means ending the war.
“Today we heard some statements from the families of zionist captives held by the resistance, regarding their rejection of partial deals and emphasizing the importance of moving towards a comprehensive exchange deal, even if it means ending the war”, he said , adding that their demands are in line with that of the resistance.
“It seems they are unaware that this has long been the declared position of the Hamas movement:
“We are ready to negotiate at once on a comprehensive deal leading to a permanent ceasefire, full withdrawal of zionist forces from the Gaza Strip, opening of the crossings, and reconstruction, in exchange for a serious and honorable prisoner exchange for all prisoners”, Na’im said
However, he added that the families know very well that the obstacle to all of this is Netanyahu and his extremist government, due to personal and partisan considerations.
“This remains the position of the Hamas movement. Without it, there will be no deal, and any illusions Netanyahu promotes among his people to prolong the war are paid for by everyone, first and foremost their own captives.
“The deception of partial deals in exchange for food, water, and continuing the genocide has become a thing of the past”, he added.
