Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: Hamas announced in its statement that "the blood of Gaza's children and Israeli prisoners is the victims of Netanyahu's ambitions to stay in power and escape trial."
According to Al Jazeera, Hamas emphasized in the statement: "The equation is clear. The release of prisoners in exchange for stopping the war. The world accepts it and Netanyahu opposes it. Every day that the agreement is delayed means the killing of more civilians of our nation and the unknown fate of Israeli prisoners."
The statement accuses Netanyahu of pursuing his own interests by continuing the war and ignoring the fate of the victims. Hamas has stressed its readiness to exchange prisoners if the war stops.
