Occupied Quds - SABA:
The families of Zionist captives demanded on Saturday the release of all prisoners and an end to the war, stressing, "We want the prisoners returned all at once, and if Netanyahu refuses, we must bring him down."
In a statement, the families of the captives said that Hamas is ready to release their loved ones from the Gaza Strip, pointing out that it is the enemy’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who refuses to do so.
They added that 70% of "Israelis" want the war to stop and the prisoners returned, but noted, "What we see is a war with no horizon."
They further stated, "The criminal Netanyahu lies to us by claiming that military pressure will bring our children back."
The families of the captives reiterated, "We want the prisoners returned all at once, and if Netanyahu refuses, we must bring him down."
They called on U.S. President Donald Trump to pressure Netanyahu to secure the prisoners' release.
The families continued, "We warned that military pressure would kill the captives, but Netanyahu did not listen to us."
Earlier on Saturday evening, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, released footage showing their rescue operation of "Israeli" captives inside a tunnel after it was bombed by Israeli occupation aircraft days earlier.
The footage showed Al-Qassam members digging through the tunnel and speaking to the "Israeli" captives in Hebrew to save them. It also included scenes of one captive being treated after being reached, saying, "My body hurts... I’m having trouble breathing."
The Al-Qassam Brigades still hold around 60 Zionist prisoners, most of them soldiers, and insist on a ceasefire in the genocide war on Gaza and a finalized exchange deal for their release.
During the first phase of the truce agreement, which came into effect on January 19 and lasted 42 days, the Al-Qassam Brigades released dozens of Zionist prisoners in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian detainees.
