Mishaal: We have enough Israeli soldiers to negotiate swap deal
DOHA, (PIC) - October 20, 2023
------------------------------

Head of Hamas’s foreign political bureau Khaled Mishaal said on Thursday
that the group has a number of Israeli soldiers, held as captives, which
are enough to negotiate releasing all the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli
jails.

 Mishaal made the comments in an interview with Arabic news channel Al
Arabiya TV.

Mishaal said the Aqsa Flood battle against Israel was a calculated move and
that the resistance was fully aware of its consequences.

"We are well aware of the consequences of our operation on October 7."

Mishaal said: “Israel will kill us, whether we resist or not.”

He had further pointed out that the Israeli captives include high-ranking
officers from the Gaza Division.

However, he stated that the details of the numbers of prisoners are only
known by the Al-Qassam Brigades, emphasizing, "We have enough Israeli
soldiers as prisoners to negotiate for our detainees."

"We have informed some countries of our readiness to hand over civilian
prisoners," he stated.

He further noted, "We are only concerned with Israeli military prisoners,
and we will exchange our Israeli prisoners for all of our detainees held by
Israel."

Moreover, Mishaal stressed that "Hamas and the Palestinian factions do not
target civilians, but Israel indiscriminately targets civilians."
