🟢 Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem to Al Jazeera Mubasher:
The occupation has a fixed policy of continuously violating the ceasefire agreement.
We are committed to all the details of the ceasefire in Gaza, especially in the first phase, by handing over all living captives in one batch.
We are working daily to complete the handover of all bodies of the "israeli" captives.
We face major challenges in handing over the bodies of the "israeli" captives due to the massive destruction. At the beginning of the war, the occupation deliberately bombed the "israeli" captives, their captors, and the residential area surrounding them.
Among the difficulties we face in handing over the captives' bodies is the lack of heavy equipment to remove the rubble, and we have clarified this to the mediators.
We are in continuous contact with the mediators regarding the ongoing violations by the "israeli" occupation. There is continuous communication with the American side regarding the transgressions that the occupation deliberately commits.
All parties that want continued calm in this region must pressure the occupation to ensure it implements its commitments.
The occupation is exploiting the aid file to blackmail the political situation and is threatening starvation once again. The occupation has not abandoned the policy of starvation against our Palestinian people.
