Hamas Movement’s spokesman Abdul-Latif Al-Qanou said that Israel has no choice but to meet the resistance’s conditions on the upcoming prisoner exchange deal.
Speaking to Jordan’s Al-Mamlaka TV channel on Friday Al-Qanou stressed that the Palestinian resistance is able to achieve an honorable prisoner exchange deal.
The Israeli attempts to procrastinate in the deal are useless he said.
The Palestinian resistance is insisting on releasing the prisoners who serve long prison sentences he underlined.
He also pointed out that the six prisoners who escaped Gilboa prison last month will be on the top of the list.
Our Palestinian people who defended Jerusalem and al-Aqsa are now ready to defend prisoners the Hamas spokesman said.
In 2011 Egypt brokered a prisoners’ exchange deal between Israel and Hamas where Hamas freed the Israeli corporal Gilad Shalit while Israel released more than 1000 Palestinians from its prisons.
