“I was contacted today by different journalists and media outlets asking about the latest proposal of the Cairo negotiations between the movement and the Israelis, through the mediators. Fine, but the most outrageous is the repeated questions regarding the “hostages in Gaza, how many alive or dead, does Hamas rejected the proposal because it can’t release 40 hostages in the first phase, etc ….?

“*Here I have to raise the following points:*

“- it’s a ceasefire negotiations and not a prisoner deal negotiations, the prisoners deal is one of the items to be negotiated. Why do we fall into the trap set by Netanyahu? *NEGOTIATION PROCESS* like the *PEACE PROCESS*, To create a process of negotiation without any intentions to reach any agreement.

- The life of any human being is priceless

“Despite Ms. Patten’s false and false claims and accusations against Palestinian resistance fighters, her report did not document any testimony from what she calls the victims of these cases. Rather, in her report, she relied on Israeli institutions, soldiers, and witnesses who were chosen by the occupation authorities, to push towards an attempt to prove this false accusation, which was refuted by all investigations.
