Hamas claims it knows nothing about a kidnapped soldier (Goldin is British-born)

I have open the Twitter feed of Gal Berger, Israel Radio's Arab affairs correspondent. The twitter page is in Hebrew (with some occasional Arabic). But the tweets indicate that one Hamas higher-up after another claims not to know anything about a kidnapped IDF soldier.

The most definitive tweet is this one.

Translation: Moussa Abu Marzuk from Cairo: Even if it turns out that there is a hostage - the negotiations for him will be separate from the Cairo talks on a cease fire.

Right....

(Berger is also reporting that the 'Palestinians' will be in Cairo to negotiate tomorrow and the Israelis on Sunday).

By the way, Hadar Goldin was born in the UK.

Shabbat Shalom everyone.

Then he’s already dead

The second he got into Hamas’s hands he was as good as dead..Hamas knows that Israel will want the soldier back. I feel horrible for this soldier’s family, he is a twin and was supposed to be married in 3 weeks

Didn’t they do the same with the soldier they kidnapped a year or two ago? They denied it and just held him until they could exchange him for a significant number of their terrorists.

Hamass channeling Sgt Schultz!

That’s what I think.

If every IDF solder doesn’t already have an emergency GPS beacon, they should.
