Report: Hamas official says Israeli attack a ‘death sentence’ for captives

Izzat al-Risheq, a member of Hamas’ political bureau, said Israel is sacrificing the lives of its remaining captives in Palestine by resuming the war on Gaza.

“Netanyahu’s decision to return to war is a decision to sacrifice the prisoners of the occupation and a death sentence against them,” Risheq said in a statement shared by CNN.

“The enemy will not achieve through war and destruction what it has failed to achieve through negotiations,” he added.
