TEHRAN (Defapress) - In its new statement, the Palestinian Hamas movement, in response to the continuation and escalation of the Zionists' brutal crimes against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, warned the occupiers that they cannot release their prisoners from Gaza through military pressure.
In a short statement released last night, Hamas emphasized: The escalation of Zionist aggression against civilians carries bloody and criminal messages aimed at exerting military pressure on the resistance, coinciding with the Hamas delegation's visit to Cairo and the actions of the mediators and talks about new ceasefire proposals.
The movement added: "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet will not make any progress on the prisoner issue without a prisoner exchange agreement, and escalating the aggression against Gaza is a losing gamble at the cost of the lives of the Zionist prisoners."
Hamas warned that the Zionist prisoners would not be released through escalating the military aggression against Gaza, but through a decision that Netanyahu refuses to make (a ceasefire and prisoner exchange).
