Hamas celebrates major achievement for Palestinian detainees released

Hamas has congratulated the released Palestinian detainees, their families, and the Palestinian people, calling their freedom a significant national achievement on the path to liberation and return.

In a statement, Hamas described the release as a crucial step in the ongoing journey toward Jerusalem. The group emphasized that this moment represents an important milestone in the broader Palestinian resistance movement.

Hamas reiterated that the liberation of Palestinian detainees remains a top priority for the people and resistance, vowing that true victory will not be achieved until all Palestinian detainees are freed.

The statement also highlighted that the release of three captives compels "Israel" to comply with the terms of the agreement and humanitarian protocols. Hamas called for the commencement of negotiations for the second phase of the prisoner release process.

Hamas stressed that the unity of the Palestinian people and resistance is vital to disrupting |Israel’s| displacement plans, as it has done with previous occupation efforts.

Finally, Hamas condemned "Israel" for placing racist slogans on Palestinian prisoners and subjecting them to violent treatment, describing it as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.
