CAIRO (Reuters) -Hamas reiterated on Wednesday that it is ready for a comprehensive Gaza deal through which all Israeli hostages are released in exchange for the release of an agreed upon number of Palestinian prisoners. The group's remarks came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump called on Hamas to release all 20 hostages.

 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office criticized Hamas' comments in a statement.

"Unfortunately, this is yet another spin by Hamas with nothing new in it," it said.

 

Netanyahu's office reiterated that the war in Gaza would only end if all hostages were released, Hamas was disarmed, the strip was demilitarized, Israel established security control over the enclave, and an alternative civilian administration was established.

through which all Israeli hostages are released in exchange for the release of an agreed upon number of Palestinian prisoners.

How many dangerous Palestinian criminals will have to be released by Israel to allow 20 innocent civilian hostages to be released by the Palestinian government?

 

Why does the number of prisoners released always massively outweigh the number of hostages released? Genuine question.
