Netanyahu’s Press Conference and Hamas’ Response
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu drew attention at the press conference held last night by blaming Hamas for the death of 6 Israeli prisoners. Following this statement, Izzat al-Rishq, a member of Hamas’s Political Bureau, made a written statement via his Telegram account.
Rishk said in his statement: “Netanyahu is responsible for the lives of the captives held by the resistance forces. While the resistance forces make great efforts to protect their lives and treat them well, Netanyahu insists on killing them and ignoring their situation,”he said He also stated that Netanyahu’s statement made it clear that he was the party that blocked the prisoner exchange and ceasefire agreement.
Hamas official, “Netanyahu has been seeking an imaginary victory in Gaza for the last 11 months, which he has failed to market to his people.”made his assessment. Rishk emphasized that Netanyahu stated at yesterday’s press conference that he was shocked when he heard the statements of some Israeli officials calling for an end to the occupation of the Philadelphi Corridor on the Gaza border with Egypt, after the bodies of 6 Israeli citizens were found in Gaza last week.
Netanyahu added that he would insist on continuing the occupation here. This situation causes tension in the region to increase and concerns grow among the public.
