Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh says that the issue of prisoner exchanges will only be tackled after the end of the war.
In a statement, the terror group leader says that “parties that have contacted us” offering mediation for a hostage release through a prisoner swap have been informed of the decision.
Haniyeh also praises Gazans’ endurance and willingness to sacrifice themselves for the Palestinian cause, and says that the “destruction” currently carried out by the Israeli army in Gaza in retaliation strikes is a reflection of the “shame of its defeat.”

Has Israel even mentioned prisoner swaps?
I don’t think Israel is in that frame of mind.
Delusional
“ I don’t think Israel is in that frame of mind.”
**********************************
And I hope it’s not for a VERY long time.
Hamas has no prisoners. They only have hostages. Civilian hostages. Women. Children. Elderly.
Israel needs to consider any “prisoner” (i.e. civilian) as good as dead and move on. Taking 100 terrorist lives for every dead Israeli.
I sure there are busybodies in the EU and the Arab world trying to broker a deal. They have a better grasp of what is coming at Hama then the terrorists do.
What the world does not understand is they want to be martyrs. The sooner we grant them that wish, the better it will be for the whole world
“ Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh”
Where is he?
Is he in Qatar?
He and all Hamas “leaders” must be killed or incarcerated.
Those harboring them too.
Israel's position is that at the end of the war, Hamas will have ceased to exist.
Unfortunately, any American hostages should kiss their butts goodbye.
Brandon doesn’t give a $#%* about them.
The End will be the complete annihilation of everyone in Gaza, the captives will have been raped to death long before.
W/out election fraud, we would be free of this pretend war in the Ukraine, and this despicable fracas as well. Oh, and bread wouldn’t be $3.50/loaf either.
That said, if this happened under PDJT’s watch, it would be raining in Gaza by now. Hard.
Qatar cannot protect him from the wrath to come. All who come against Am Israel will be destroyed? “Vengeance is mine says YHVH, and I myself will execute it.”
I’m expecting a lot of mysterious deaths around the world of people with Arabic names. Probably just vax induced.
Since, if God is true, there will be none of you when this is over, the question of swaps is moot.
The complicating factor here is that there are apparently a number of hostages who are citizens of other countries. The Israeli government may not have free reign to do whatever it wants under those circumstances.
That sounds about right except I'd add 100 terrorist lives for every dead hostage of whatever nationality.
hamas does not want to give up their human shields
