In exchange for a five-day ceasefire with Israel, the militant Palestinian organisation Hamas announced on Monday that it has informed Qatari mediators that it was prepared to free up to seventy of the women and children detained in Gaza.
“Last week there was an effort from the Qatari brothers to release the enemy captives from women and children, in return for the release of 200 Palestinian children and 75 women detained by the enemy” Abu Ubaida, the spokesman for the armed wing of Hamas, al-Qassam Brigades, said in an audio recording posted on the group’s Telegram channel.
“The truce should include a complete ceasefire and allow aid and humanitarian relief everywhere in the Gaza Strip,” he said.
He accused Israel of “procrastinating and evading” the price of the deal.
