The deputy head of the political bureau of Hamas, Salah al-Aruri, announced this evening (Saturday) that there are currently no negotiations regarding a truce, and there will be no exchange of prisoners until the end of the fighting. According to him, the murderous organization handed over all the kidnapped women and children who were held.
This evening, in a statement issued by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, he said that Hamas still has 17 hostages - 15 women and 2 children - and it refuses to return them as part of the deals and violated the ceasefire.
Al-Aruri also said that the abductees left with the organization's terrorists in Gaza are soldiers and men who served in the Israeli army, whom they will agree to exchange only bodies for the bodies of terrorists who are in Israel's possession.
According to him, Hamas needs another truce to retrieve the bodies from the areas Israel is shelling.
Al-Aruri stated in his words that there will be no exchange of prisoners before the end of the war. According to him the older abductees are also considered in his eyes as soldiers who served in the "occupation" army and some of them are still in it, and they will not accept negotiations under fire.
