GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, said on Wednesday that the fate of Israeli captives held in the Gaza Strip is linked to the actions of premier Benjamin Netanyahu.
Spokesman for al-Quds Brigades Abu Hamza said on Telegram that prisoner exchanges are the only way to release the Israeli captives and restore stability, holding the Israeli occupation regime responsible for any possible escalation.
“The Palestinian factions have fulfilled their obligations to the fullest, while the enemy (Israel) has left its prisoners in a whirlpool of danger and uncertainty,” Abu Hamza, added.
The spokesman added that the Israeli government is responsible for the consequences of its failure to fulfill its obligations under the ceasefire agreement.
“We are committed to all aspects of the ceasefire agreement as long as the enemy abides by its terms,” he added.
Al-Quds Brigades also released a video showing Israeli soldier Arbel Yehud and her fellow citizen Gadi Moses as well as five Thais with a message saying they “were released only through an exchange deal, so what about the rest?”
