Hamas vows abductees’ cause to remain ‘top priority’ until every detainee is freed
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has pledged that the struggle to free Palestinian abductees will remain the nation’s highest priority, and that Palestinians will not rest until every detainee is released from Israel’s “new Nazi” jails and the occupation ends.
“The cause of the prisoners will remain a top national priority for our people and their resistance,” the Gaza-based group said in a statement on Monday.
“The Palestinian people will not rest until the last prisoner is freed from the jails of the new Nazis and the occupation is removed from our land and holy sites,” it added.
On Friday, a ceasefire deal was agreed upon between the Israeli regime and Hamas, ending two years of the occupying regime’s genocidal war against the people of the Gaza Strip.
The first phase of the deal, brokered by Egypt and Qatar in the form of a so-called “20-point plan” proposed by US President Donald Trump, sees the exchange of fewer than 50 dead and living Israeli captives held by Hamas for around 2,000 Palestinian abductees illegally imprisoned in the regime’s jails.
Among the Palestinian prisoners slated for release are 250 serving life or long-term sentences, along with 1,718 others abducted from Gaza during Israel’s genocidal war.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office published the lists of Palestinian prisoners set to be freed under the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
“News reports indicate that the Palestinian prisoners to be liberated have already boarded buses — after being subjected to torture, abuse, and attempted humiliation inside the occupation prisons, once again,” it said.
The Prisoners’ Media Office also revealed that Israeli forces have already begun threatening the families of the liberated prisoners, distributing leaflets ordering them not to hold celebrations, and arresting and detaining their fathers, brothers, and sons in multiple invasions and attacks on villages, cities, and refugee camps in the occupied West Bank.
Among those set to be freed on Monday are several prominent Palestinian resistance figures, including Mahmoud al-Ardah, leader of the Freedom Tunnel escape from Gilboa Prison, and his comrade Ayham Kamamji.
Also on the list are Kamil Abu Hanish, a PFLP leader and writer serving nine life sentences; Bassem Khandaqji, the imprisoned novelist and winner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction serving 3 life sentences; and Mahmoud Issa, jailed since 1993 and known as the founder of the Al-Qassam cells in occupied al-Quds devoted to freeing Palestinian prisoners.
