Terrorist organization Hamas said Sunday that no hostage they are holding will leave alive if their demands aren’t met.
“Neither the fascist enemy and its arrogant leadership nor its supporters can take their prisoners alive without an exchange and negotiation and meeting the demands of the resistance,” Abu Obeida, a spokesperson for Hamas’s armed wing, said in a televised broadcast.
The remarks came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for Hamas fighters to surrender.
“In recent days, dozens of Hamas terrorists have been surrendering to our forces,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “They are laying down their weapons and handing themselves over to our heroic fighters.”
“It will take more time, the war is in full swing, but this is the beginning of the end for Hamas,” the prime minister added. “I say to the Hamas terrorists: It is over. Don’t die for Sinwar. Surrender, now.”
