️BREAKING: Hamas statement to the families of "israeli" prisoners in the Gaza Strip:
As preparations are underway for the release of a second batch of "israeli" prisoners from Gaza, we have followed with great astonishment the statements of several occupation leaders from the extremist "israeli" government, who have hinted at the resumption of war and destruction in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas and the resistance have demonstrated a strong commitment to preserving the lives of "israeli" prisoners in our custody and ensuring their basic needs are met, despite the genocide, starvation, and targeting endured by our people. This includes the bombing of some detention sites multiple times over the past 15 months and the killing and torture of Palestinian detainees in occupation prisons, acts that shame humanity itself.
Upon reaching the ceasefire agreement and releasing the first group of female prisoners, we were deeply committed to ensuring their delivery in a civilized and humane manner, unlike the treatment our detainees experienced during their release.
Today, we address this message to you in a time of great complexity and pain for all. We sense a great danger in the recent statements made by "israeli" political leaders. These remarks signal an imminent threat to everyone, including your loved ones still in Gaza.
The recent statements by officials in the "israeli" government, suggesting intentions to resume war and destruction in Gaza, raise serious concerns about the safety of your children and the hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians suffering under siege and war.
Here, we present to you the most prominent of these statements:
1- Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on January 20, 2025, stated that he had received a personal promise from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resume aggression on Gaza after the first phase of the agreement, considering the ceasefire to be merely a temporary stage, to be followed by a new war to eliminate Hamas.
2- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on January 18, 2025, indicated that the ceasefire agreement is temporary, asserting that "israel" would return to fighting "in a new way and with great force" if circumstances necessitate it.
3- Minister Dudi Amsalem on January 22, 2025, claimed that the second phase of the ceasefire agreement would not occur, calling for an inevitable return to war.
4- Knesset Member Tally Gotliv on January 22, 2025, demanded the seizure of land in Gaza and the establishment of military bases on it, describing the truce as "unreal."
We warn that these statements not only threaten a return to escalation and destruction but also put the safety of your loved ones at direct risk.
We call upon you, as the families of the captives who are most impacted by what may happen, to take a responsible humanitarian stance and raise your voices to the "israeli" government and its leaders. These leaders prioritize their personal and political interests over the public interest, which should focus on ensuring the safety of your sons and everyone in Gaza, and adhering to the agreements.
We believe that your voices can bring about real change, and that your demands can make a difference in pushing back against the recklessness of this far-right government and its leaders. Your voices can pressure them to honor agreements that guarantee the safety of all and the return of your loved ones to you. War will only bring more destruction and loss, putting the lives of the remaining prisoners in real danger and an uncertain fate.
