Hamas released video footage of three hostages asking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a deal for their release in exchange for the release of Palestinian detainees. This was announced when Israeli newspaper Haaretz republished a video of it.Shehab News Agency’ is a Palestinian news agency close to Hamas. The woman speaking in the video gets angry Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused him of not doing anything to release the hostages and of failing to prevent the October 7 attacks. According to Israeli media, it is very likely that the statement was dictated by terrorists. The identities of the three women in the video are not yet known.
Addressing the head of the Israeli government, the hostage woman says, “Let’s go back now! Netanyahu has failed both politically and militarily, and we demand the immediate release of all prisoners.” “Just two days ago there was talk of a ceasefire and the release of everyone, but Netanyahu stepped back.”
The release of the video is probably not a coincidence. Just yesterday, Yahia Sinwar, the leader of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip, reportedly offered the Netanyahu government to release all Israeli hostages in exchange for the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners. It was an unacceptable offer to Tel Aviv and was immediately returned to the sender. American sources revealed this instead: NBC It was stated that the terrorists said they were willing to release a limited number of hostages in exchange for fuel. But even on that front, negotiations have come to a standstill because Israel, the United States and other countries want “the release of a large group of hostages,” sources revealed. Haaretz writes that Israeli officials will instead travel to Qatar on Saturday to start talks, but little is known about that at the moment. In this context, the video released today may be a way to put pressure on Israeli public opinion, given that negotiations have stalled.
