Hamas Agrees to Release 10 Israeli Prisoners in Exchange for Aid Flow into Gaza

Hamas official Taher al-Nunu announced today that the movement has agreed to free ten Israeli prisoners in Gaza to ensure the continued flow of humanitarian assistance and the cessation of hostilities. He affirmed that negotiations in Doha are facing challenges, as Hamas insists on its core demands—most importantly, Israel’s full withdrawal from Gaza and an immediate end to the war.

Al-Nunu stressed the need for international guarantees, noting that the United States has the capacity to pressure Israel to resolve the crisis, provided there is the requisite political will.
