We Have What It Takes To Free Palestinians From Israeli Jails-Hamas
*Describes non-Israeli hostages as guests.
The militant wing of the Palestinian group, Hamas, has said that it has what it takes to free all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.
The group made the assertion through its diaspora head, Khaled Mesaal, on AlAraby TV, on Monday.
Khaled, who described non-Israeli hostages the group kidnapped July 7 as guests, noted that they would be released "when circumstances allow", adding that his group has the capacity to empty Israeli prisons of all its Palestinian prisoners.
Meanwhile, the group released a video late Monday, showing one of its captives, a Franco-Israeli woman, whose family was among those that appealed to French President, Emmanuel Macron, to help free their missing relatives.
Hammas spokesperson, Abu Obeida, confirmed in the video that the group is in custody of "a group of detainees of different nationalities, these are our guests and we seek to protect them."
According to him, "We will release detainees of different nationalities when circumstances on the ground allow."
Clarifying the said circumstances, another Hamas official noted that "foreign prisoners cannot be released due to the continued Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip."
Hamas gunmen raided Israeli southern villages October 7th and abducted hundreds of Israelis, after killing over 1,300 others.
According to Israeli military group, about 199 hostages are currently being held inside Gaza. However, Hamas insists it has between 200 and 250 hostages.
