TEHRAN: Iran has revealed that Hamas was ready to release all 199 hostages captured by Israel if the airstrikes on the Gaza Strip end. Iranian Foreign Affairs Spokesman Nasser Kanani said this at a press conference held in Tehran. Iran is a country that fully supports Hamas in its fight against Israel. Meanwhile, Hamas has yet to confirm Iran’s revelation that it was ready to release the hostages.
“Hamas was ready to release those captured and held hostage by Israel. But their position was that it was not even possible to think about it when the Zionists were dropping bombs widely in different parts of Gaza” – Nasser Kanani explained.
At the same time, Hamas has indicated many times that it is ready to release the hostages if the thousands of Palestinian citizens detained by Israel are released as in the past. Iran also hinted that Hamas is ready to continue its resistance if Israel wants to continue fighting. Iran has also indicated that Hamas has the military and weaponry to defend Israel in the long term.
Meanwhile, Hamas claimed to have launched a missile attack on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem today. Hamas stated that this missile attack was a response to the attacks carried out by Israel against civilians in Palestine.
At the same time, countries including the US are continuing to try to ease tensions in the region. US Interior Secretary Anthony Blinken, who was in Israel during the conflict, postponed his return to the US on Monday night, officials revealed. The new information is that he will go to Amman, the capital of Jordan. It is indicated that the change in Blinken’s visit is part of the negotiations to resolve the issue.
