Gaza - Saba:
Member of the Political Bureau of the Hamas Movement, Izzat al-Rishq, strongly condemned the Netanyahu's decision to postpone the release of Palestinian Captives.
Al-Rishq said in a press statement reported by Safa Agency today, Sunday, that this decision reveals once again the occupation's evasions and evasion of its obligations.
He added that the occupation's pretext that "the handover ceremony is humiliating" is a false claim and a flimsy pretext aimed at evading the obligations of the agreement.
He pointed out that the ceremony does not include any insult to the prisoners, but rather reflects the generous humane treatment of them.
He explained that the real insult is what our prisoners are exposed to during the release process, from torture, beatings and deliberate humiliation until the last moments.
He pointed out that the Palestinian prisoners are released with their hands tied and blindfolded, and their families are threatened not to hold any celebrations to receive their released sons.
Netanyahu's decision was considered a deliberate attempt to disrupt the agreement, a clear violation of its terms, and a clear indication of the occupation's unreliability in implementing its obligations.
Al-Rashq called on the mediators and the international community to assume their responsibilities and pressure the occupation to implement the agreement and release the prisoners without any delay.
