Hamas’s Leader Denies Truce Deal Rumors

Head of Hamas’ Political Bureau Abroad, Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri denied the rumors about the Hamas movement agreeing to release 9 “Israeli” captives in exchange for a two-month truce, emphasizing that talks about such an agreement are inaccurate and an attempt to deceive global public opinion.

Abu Zuhri told Al- Al-Jazeera that the occupation is trying to confuse the arena with fake news in order to pressure the resistance and carry out its crimes.

He confirmed that Hamas will not hand over the occupation’s captives as long as it insists on endlessly continuing its aggression against Gaza.

“We initiated the handover of soldier Edan [Alexander] to create an atmosphere for reaching an agreement, but the American administration did not appreciate our step,” he said.

He expressed the movement’s readiness to release all the captives at once, but only on the condition that the occupation commits to ending the war with international guarantees
