Hamas says it remains open to any suggestions for a prisoner swap with Israel, but no talks will be held until it stops the bombardment.
“The Palestinian resistance – especially the Qassam Brigades – is managing this battle with responsibility and capability, engaging the enemy from close range, and our missiles are reaching the depths of the Israeli state,” said senior official Osama Hamdan.
He added claims that Hamas is responsible for thwarting a new truce deal is “only adopting the lies of the occupation”.
“We would like to confirm that no negotiations will be held for a prisoner swap until the aggression against us completely stops. We are open to any initiative that we might receive from our brothers in Egypt and Qatar. We will look at it with the sacrifices of our people and our Palestinian national vision in mind.”
