No negotiations or exchange of detainees until Gaza aggression stops: Hamas official

International

GEO TV reports: There will be no negotiations or exchange of detainees until Israel’s aggression against the Gaza strip stops, Hamas official Osama Hamdan said in a press conference on Tuesday.

“We hold (Israeli Prime Minister) Netanyahu fully responsible for the lives of the Israeli hostages and for obstructing the completion of the exchange deal”, he added.

Al Jazeera reported that the resistance group leader said that no matter how long the “war is going [to] last, we are well prepared”.

“This is not a sign of victory but rather a sign of defeat and the fall of his government,” Hamdan said.

The real objective of Netanyahu and his military is to “eliminate the Palestinian people and kill the cause. This is an impossibility”.

Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan, speaking in Beirut, Lebanon, says Israel’s invasion of Gaza is just a “thirst for blood” that will go unquenched.
