Yes I read it and? Yes I know the meaning and? Since when was it ousted from that roll officially. I was not aware Israel had declared victory. Last I heard Hamas was still invited for ceasefire talks

Laugh away . HAMAS has been the de facto governing body in the Gaza Strip since 2007, when it ousted the Palestinian Authority from power. OPERATING AREAS Primarily in Gaza; also maintains a presence in the West Bank; Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon; and key regional capitals, such as Doha, Qatar, and Cairo, Egypt. https://www.dni.gov/nctc/ftos/hamas_fto.html#:~:text=HAMAS has been the de,the Palestinian Authority from power.&text=Primarily in Gaza%3B also maintains,Qatar%2C and Cairo%2C Egypt.

You asked me for a link on a subject you discussed in detail before 2 weeks ago. I don't play games

Hamas are still the official defacto governing body until they are not officially anymore.

You can go back to the topic where you discussed it in detail before. You're welcome.

I have. They are delusional look them up if you want.

They have no intention of releasing them unless they are under their demands which have currently been described as delusional. Fixed if for you.......yawn

I never new its political wing was also armed.

Hamas regroups in northern Gaza to prepare new offensive Militant Palestinian group begins to rebuild system of governance in north after being driven out by Israeli forces https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/30/hamas-returns-northern-gaza-new-offensive

Wow. Thanks for proving my point...........

Really, I have other articles that say otherwise that have already been posted.

"You've got nothing." Did Hamas tell you that? They still seem to be the ones who are consulted in talks for ceasefires.

The rest of the time; they dress as civilians, and hide amongst them, too. https://twitter.com/YaariCohen/status/1759921476977782837

What is you you don't understand that Hamas is committing war crimes against its own civil population and increasing the huge deaths figures as a result?

I don't think its irrelevant at all. Hamas is using the population as human shields which is a war crime

Ok so your cherry picking post was responded to by another cherry picking post. See how this works now?

How did I ignore it when I posted a link and then a screenshot.....lol

Deflecting nothing, stating what the Hamas government themselves said about the civilians or should I say martyrs. https://twitter.com/JamesCleverly/status/1719718109739688143

Even more ridiculous is a government that states civilians are there to sacrifice whether they like it or not. “We are called a nation of martyrs,” said another top Hamas official, Ghazi Hamad. “And we are proud to sacrifice martyrs.” He promised more attacks: “There will be a second, a third, a fourth.” When asked whether he sought the annihilation of Israel, Hamad matter-of-factly replied, “Yes, of course.” One, Moussa Abu Marzouk, a prominent member of the Hamas political bureau, was asked in an interview why Hamas built over 300 miles of tunnels in the Gaza Strip but has never built bomb shelters for Gazan civilians. Human sacrifice is central to Hamas’s strategy

Yes of course "especially children" being held hostage, they still have some of those too. You can call it cherry picking all you want, that's what happens when you are talking about hostage release and ceasefires. Note the topic

How will the war end with Hamas in control of Gaza?

No, its not really cherry picking, it was headline news and also pretty important stuff, especially for the hostages and peace Adopting Resolution 2712 (2023), Security Council Calls for ‘Urgent and Extended’ Humanitarian Pauses in Gaza, Immediate Release of Hostages https://press.un.org/en/2023/sc15496.doc.htm

Well yes, we were talking about the hostages, I wouldn't have said it if it wasn't true but thanks for the confirmation: "calls for their immediate and unconditional release." Would you also like to quote the Security Council resolution where it says the same thing?

Do you believe what Hamas says?
