Hamas says it won’t release hostages unless Israel stops war

In a response to renewed negotiations for the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza, Hamas responded on Thursday night that it wouldn’t agree to release any hostages unless Israel stops the war.

In a statement, Hamas said, “We have informed the mediators of our clear position that if the occupation stops the war and aggression against our people in Gaza – we will be ready to reach a complete agreement that includes a comprehensive prisoner exchange deal.”

Senior Hamas official Muhammad Mardawi said last night: “There is no point in participating in negotiations that we know in advance will not lead to any results.”

An Israeli official responded that although a hostage release agreement seemed elusive, Israel was determined to continue.

You don't trust an enemy who's religion is to annihilate you as a people and consider it martyrdom to die while doing so.

What happened months back when Israel agreed to a cease fire? Hamas took advantage of that cease fire to attack Israel.

Hamas only agrees to a one sided agreement that gives them the advantage to accomplish their goal to take the nation of Israel off the map and get their "river from the sea".

Israel has the right to not only defend itself but to put the enemy out of commission, and protect itself from continuous attacks aimed to illuminate the Jewish nation.
