A high-ranking Hamas official said Tuesday that the terorrist group would release all civilian hostages if Israel discontinues its airstrikes on Gaza. The terrorist official emphasized that if their conditions are met, hostages could be released within an hour. He pointed out the current security concerns, saying that given the circumstances, no location is deemed safe for the release. Furthermore, for the release of Israeli military personnel in captivity, Hamas demands that Israel free all Palestinian prisoners from Israeli detention facilities. The same source indicated that both the U.S. and Israel are already apprised of Hamas’s stipulations for the civilian hostages’ release, noting that these terms have been openly discussed with leaders from various Arab nations.
