A Hamas insider revealed that the United States' consistent shift towards favoring Israeli Occupation has worsened negotiations for a prisoner exchange deal, escalating tensions instead of facilitating a resolution, according to Al Jazeera.

The source emphasized that this American stance is counterproductive, leading to further violence rather than achieving a settlement.

Furthermore, Hamas proposed a plan based on mediators' suggestions, including the second Paris agreement, but Israeli Occupation's rejection prompted Washington to retract and present a proposal aligning solely with Tel Aviv's interests.

Additionally, the ongoing Israeli Occupation aggression against Gaza, now in its 194th day, has resulted in numerous casualties, injuries, and extensive infrastructure damage in the besieged area.
