Hamas says no more hostage releases until Israel ends war


BBC:

Hamas says no more hostage releases until Israel ends war




  • Hamas says that Palestinian groups have rejected the prospect of further hostage releases until Israel agrees to end the war in Gaza

  • The statement was released as talks in Cairo continue over reaching a new truce in the war

  • But Israel has repeatedly rejected a permanent ceasefire, with its national security minister saying ending the war before Hamas is defeated would constitute a "failure"

  • More than 240 Israeli hostages were captured during Hamas's 7 October attacks, with more than 100 of them released in a previous truce in November

  • The UN Security Council is again due to a hold vote on "urgent humanitarian pauses" in Gaza after the previous vote was postponed on Wednesday

  1. The war continues.
    The Al Jazeera narrative that Gaza is a passive victim of Israeli attacks is a lie.
    There is a brutal war going on, and Israel has to degrade Hamas militarily if they are not just going to have a repeat of October 7 months or a few short years down the road.
