"Hamas 'Demands'" Lol
Hamas is demanding the release of Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti and Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine Secretary-General Ahmed Sa’adat as part of a prisoner exchange agreement with Israel, a senior Hamas official said on Thursday.

Maher Obeid, member of the Hamas "political bureau," said that any prisoner swap must include "all the symbols, from Marwan Barghouti to Ahmad Sa’adat to Fouad al-Shobaki to Karim Younes and others."

He spoke as the Israeli security cabinet was set to convene on Thursday evening, amid speculation that a prisoner swap was in the works for the remains of Lt. Hadar Goldin and Sgt. Oren Shaul, believed killed in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
war as well as for the release of two Israelis civilians Avraham Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayyed.

The Hamas official, however, downplayed reports about progress in the indirect negotiations with Israel to reach a deal and accused Israel of failing to respond to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s offer to make "partial concessions" to facilitate a deal due to the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

crisis.

Obeid claimed that the negotiations were also stuck because of the political crisis in Israel after the March general election.

As good an excuse as any for what would not happen anyway...

"There are no real contacts, and until now there is no mediator assigned by the Israeli occupation to discuss this matter in a real and effective manner," he remarked. "We are ready [for a deal] and we are serious about securing the release of the prisoners, especially the elderly, females, minors and the sick."

Obeid said that Hamas has informed Egypt and Russia of its readiness to strike a deal with Israel. He noted, however, that the contacts with Egypt and Russia did not move forward.

Dude, they're just not that in to you. Everyone, Juice included, has grown-up stuff to deal with right now.
