Hamas source: Netanyahu will not make any progress on prisoner issue without swap deal
Gaza - Saba:
Hamas leader has confirmed that Israeli enemy Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "will not make any progress on the prisoner issue without a swap deal," stressing that the escalation against Palestinian civilians is a losing gamble at the expense of his prisoners.
The leader told al-Quds Press Agency on Sunday that "the Israeli enemy escalation against civilians is a bloody, criminal message aimed at exerting military pressure on the resistance, coinciding with the arrival of our delegation to Cairo, the movements of mediators, and talk of new proposals."
He reiterated that the enemy's prisoners "will not be returned by military escalation, but by a decision... and Netanyahu refuses to make it."
Hamas announced in a statement Saturday that its negotiating delegation had headed to the Egyptian capital, Cairo, stressing that it "deals positively with any proposals that guarantee a permanent ceasefire and the enemy's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip."
On March 18, the enemy reneged on the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement in effect since January 19, and resumed its genocidal war on the devastated Gaza Strip.
Since October 7, 2023, enemy forces, with full American support, have been committing genocide in the besieged Palestinian Strip, leaving more than 166,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.

Saudi Interior Ministry confirms sustained care, loyalty to martyrs' families during Hajj
The Ministry of Interior, through the Agency for Military Affairs, is supporting the families of deceased and injured armed forces personnel with a humanitarian program reflecting the leadership's commitment to citizens. A key part of the program enables relatives of martyrs and injured personnel to perform Hajj at the ministry's expense, along with providing psychological, medical and social care throughout the year. One beneficiary speaking from Mina, Ibrahim bin Abdulkarim Al-Zahrani — injured in the line of duty and brother to two martyrs — expressed his appreciation for the Kingdom's support. He said such care reassures families that the Kingdom stands by them and gives them strength to continue serving, a Saudi Press Agency report said. Al-Zahrani added that the ministry's efforts, under Minister of Interior Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif, represent the state's respect for the sacrifices of martyrs and its commitment to their families. Chief Sgt. Salem Al-Qahtani of the General Department for the Care of Martyrs and Injured Families shared his 14-year experience serving the group, highlighting the department's close, familial bond with their families. 'We have followed the children of the martyrs since their early years, watching them grow — some are now our colleagues, while others are performing Hajj through this program under the leadership's close supervision,' he said. The department develops support programs for beneficiaries, demonstrating the Kingdom's commitment to honoring those who gave their lives for the nation and continuing support for their families. It also reflects the leadership's approach to supporting citizens and honoring the sacrifices of martyrs.

Enemy Media: Israel arms militia tasked with recruiting Palestinians in Rafah
Occupied al-Quds- Saba: Israeli media revealed Monday evening that the "militia" armed by Israel inside the Gaza Strip has begun attempting to recruit Palestinians in the areas it controls south of Rafah, with the aim of forming administrative committees to manage those areas. According to the official Israeli Broadcasting Authority, Yasser Abu Shabab, who is presented as the leader of the Israeli-backed militia, called on Gaza residents to volunteer for these administrative committees in a post on his Facebook account. The militia, according to his claims, operates to oppose Hamas and provide civilian services such as distributing aid. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted by the International Court of Justice, acknowledged last Thursday the arming of local militias in Gaza, allegedly for use against Hamas. This followed previous statements by former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who strongly criticized the move, describing these militia members as "a group of criminals and outlaws belonging to ISIS. In the same context, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that these militias "engage in smuggling and extortion and do not care about the Palestinian cause. The newspaper noted that their leader, Yasser Abu Shabab, a 32-year-old Bedouin from Rafah, "is known for looting UN trucks last year and reselling humanitarian aid. For its part, Hamas described these groups as "gangs that have practiced treason and theft," asserting that they "operate under direct Zionist security supervision," and warning that these militias constitute "a real enemy of our Palestinian people," according to a statement issued by the movement.
