Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem stated in an interview with Al Jazeera that the handover of captives' bodies on Thursday reflects the movement’s adherence to the terms of the ceasefire agreement with 'Israel', despite ongoing violations by the Israeli Occupation.
He emphasized that Hamas remains committed to fulfilling its humanitarian obligations.
Obstruction by 'Israeli' forces
Qassem highlighted that 'Israel' is systematically blocking access to the bodies of captives through continued airstrikes and military operations. He added that Hamas has informed mediators that it will make every possible effort to ensure the swift return of the captives’ bodies.
Call for continued ceasefire
In his remarks to Al Jazeera Mubasher, Qassem expressed hope for the continuation and durability of the ceasefire, despite repeated breaches by 'Israel'.
He also called on the US administration to pressure 'Israel' to comply with the agreement, stressing the importance of protecting civilians and maintaining relative stability in the Gaza Strip.
