GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement-affiliated Office of Martyrs, Prisoners and Wounded sent a letter in Arabic and Hebrew to the families of Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip:
“As preparations are underway for the release of a second batch of Israeli captives held in the Gaza Strip, we have followed with great astonishment the statements made by several Israeli leaders, who have threatened to resume war in the Gaza Strip,” the letter reads.
“Hamas and the Palestinian resistance have demonstrated a strong commitment to preserving the lives of the Israeli captives and ensuring their basic needs are met, despite the genocide, starvation, and targeting endured by our people.”
“Upon reaching the ceasefire agreement and releasing the first group of female captives, we were deeply committed to ensuring their delivery in a civilized and humane manner, unlike the treatment Palestinian detainees experienced during their release.”
Today, we address this message to you (Israeli captives’ families) in a time of great complexity and pain for all. We feel a great danger in the recent statements made by Israeli political leaders. These remarks signal an imminent threat to everyone, including your loved ones who are still in Gaza, the statement concluded.
