Hamas Leader's Indifference to Hostages Exposed

Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad stated in an interview that he did not know how many hostages were still alive in Gaza and that it was not important to him. He claimed that Hamas would release all the hostages if Israel freed around 6,000 Palestinian prisoners. Hamad also mentioned that he could provide proof that Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, who were abducted in October, were no longer alive. The IDF informed the family of 86-year-old Aryeh Zalmanowitz, who was taken hostage by Hamas, that he was no longer alive.
