The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office says that “Tel Aviv still considers the bodies of those killed as hostages.”

According to the CNN report Of these 132 people, 113 are men and 19 are women, two children are under 18 years old and 10 people are over 75 years old.

Among them, 121 are Israelis and 11 are foreign nationals, including 8 Thais, 1 Nepalese, one Tanzanian and one Mexican-French dual citizen.

In this statement, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office also announced that 110 live prisoners were released by Hamas during the prisoner exchange agreement, of which 86 were Israelis and 24 were foreigners.

It was at the end of November and during the ongoing war in Gaza that the Zionist regime and Hamas agreed to a four-day pause in the clashes and exchange of prisoners (from November 24 to November 28) with the mediation of Qatar. This agreement was extended two more times. Once for two days and once for one day. During this period, during seven stages, a number of Palestinian prisoners were exchanged with Hamas prisoners, most of whom were Israelis.

The ceasefire was not extended due to the renewed attacks of the Zionist regime on the Gaza Strip.

Osame Hamdan, one of the leaders of the Islamic resistance movement Hamas, said last Tuesday: “Until the end of the aggression against Gaza, there is no talk about the exchange of prisoners.”

Hamdan explained in an interview with “Al-Jazeera” channel: “The goal of the Israeli side is to deal with internal pressures through current revelations”.

He also added: “Israel’s position on a prospective deal is for domestic consumption.”
