Israel’s new air strikes in Gaza are a “death sentence” for the remaining Israeli hostages held at the enclave, a Hamas leader said on Tuesday (18).
“Netanyahu’s decision is a decision to sacrifice the prisoners of the occupation and a death sentence against them,” said Hamas leader Ezzat Al-Rishq, a member of the political bureau of the Palestinian militant group, referring to the Prime Minister of Israel.
“The enemy will not reach through war and destruction what it could not achieve through negotiations.”
