Recent statements from Osame Hamdan shed light on the situation of Israeli captives in Gaza, indicating that they were killed either in bombings, shootings by Israeli forces, or in fights with resistance forces. This has raised concerns as Netanyahu seeks to evade responsibility by resorting to drastic measures.
Hamas has made it clear that the return of captives will only be possible once the war on Gaza ends and Israeli forces have completely withdrawn. The issue of a prisoner swap deal is not a new one, with Hamas standing firm on its stance against any new presence of occupiers in the region.
Highlighting the role of the US government in pressuring Netanyahu to withdraw from the Philadelphia axis, Hamdan also pointed out the potential consequences of failing to do so, particularly the fate of the captives in Gaza. These developments underscore the need for immediate action to prevent further loss of life.
