Hamas Movement issued on Thursday a statement which affirms that, as part of its commitment to alleviating the suffering of the Palestinian people by halting the (Zionist) aggression and opening the crossings for the entry of humanitarian aid, the positive initiative of releasing captured soldier Edan Alexander came ahead of US President’s visit to the region.

“We expect, based on the understandings reached with the American side, and with the knowledge of the mediators, that humanitarian aid should have entered the Gaza Strip immediately, a call been made for a permanent ceasefire, and that comprehensive negotiations would have been held on all issues to achieve security and stability in the region, a goal we aspire to achieve.”

However, failure to achieve these steps, especially the entry of humanitarian aid to our people, will cast a negative effect over any efforts to complete negotiations on the prisoner exchange process, Hamas warned.

Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas military wing, released a video to show the ambush and clash with a Zionist occupation force in Shujaia neighborhood, northern Gaza on April 25, 2025. The operation left two Zionist soldiers dead and others injured.
