In a statement on Friday, Hamas responded positively to Biden’s ceasefire proposal to end the war in Gaza. Hamas said it is ready to consider positively any proposal based on a permanent ceasefire, a complete IDF withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, reconstruction of the Strip, return of the Palestinians to their homes throughout Gaza, and the implementation of a ‘serious’ swap deal.
Abu Hamza, the spokesman for the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, said that the return of the hostages will not take place until after the end of the “aggression,” meaning the the complete withdrawal of the IDF from the Gaza Strip.
Abu Hamza said in a recorded message published on the Islamic Jihad’s Telegram channel that ending the war in the Gaza Strip is the only way to free the hostages and return the residents to the settlements around the Gaza Strip.
“We tell the Israelis: Do not listen to your leadership, for your return to the settlements will not happen except after the end of the war against Gaza,” said the terrorist spokesman.
According to Abu Hamza, over the past few weeks, terrorists from Islamic Jihad have downed 11 unmanned Israeli aircraft and launched rockets at Be’er Sheva, Sderot, and Ashkelon.
