 Exclusive: Families Of Israeli Captives Reach Out To Hamas Over Fate Of Ceasefire Talks

Senior Hamas official tells a representative for some of the families that it is ‘serious’ about reaching ceasefire deal but facing ‘intransigent Israeli positions’

The families of Israeli captives held in Gaza reached out to Hamas through a representative to ask about the fate of stalled ceasefire talks, Middle East Eye can reveal.

Sources told MEE that the third party reached out to Hamas after the captives’ families feared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin was trying to torpedo a possible deal.

A senior figure within Hamas told the representative to relay to the families that it was “serious” about reaching an agreement to end the war and release the captives, but that it was facing “intransigent Israeli positions”, sources told MEE.

“Hamas is serious about reaching an agreement to end the war and establish arrangements that ensure calm and stability. It has demonstrated significant flexibility and positive responsibility during the negotiation rounds,” the sources quoted Hamas as saying.

“Israel has insisted on continuing the war, destroying the Gaza Strip, displacing its population, and imposing a state of hunger, suffering, and ongoing massacres that have not ceased for a single day.”
