'No chance': Hamas spurns hostage deal as Netanyahu rejects conditions

Firstpost  

The possibility of a deal to release the remaining hostages held by Hamas seemed to recede on Sunday, as a Hamas official said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rejection of their conditions meant there was “no chance” of their return. A Hamas official, Sami Abu Zuhri, told Reuters the Israeli prime minister’s refusal to end the military offensive in Gaza “means there is no chance for the return of the captives”, which are estimated to be 130 in number Netanyahu is facing mounting pressure to secure the release of the hostages, but said in a statement that the Hamas demands included “the withdrawal of our forces from Gaza, the release of all the murderers and rapists … and leaving Hamas intact.” Under a deal brokered in late November by the United States, Qatar and Egypt, more than 100 of the estimated 240 hostages taken captive to Gaza during an attack by Hamas militants on Oct. 7 were freed in exchange for the release of 240 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. “If the prime minister decides to sacrifice the hostages, he should show leadership and honestly share his position with the Israeli public.” Relatives of the hostages at a protest outside Netanyahu’s residence demanded action. Netanyahu also took a stronger line on the issue of Palestinian statehood than before.“I will not compromise on full Israeli security control of all territory west of the Jordan River,” he said.
