“We are immediately ready to make a deal that includes the release of all prisoners in the prisons of the zionist enemy in exchange for the release of all prisoners held by the resistance,” Yahya Sinwar said.

As per israeli reports, over 200 captives are held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, captured during an operation conducted on October 7.

In recent gestures of goodwill, Hamas released two elderly Israeli civilian women, following the earlier release of two captives holding dual US-israeli nationality.

Egypt and Qatar are leading mediation efforts to facilitate negotiations between the two parties over the detainees.

The conflict since October 7 has led to devastating casualties, with over 7,700 Palestinians, including at least 3,000 children, killed in israeli attacks targeting Gaza.

The ongoing violence has resulted in severe humanitarian conditions in Gaza. The zionist regime's blockage of essential supplies, including fuel, coupled with extensive bombings, has caused widespread destruction, leading to a critical humanitarian crisis. (ILKHA)
