Abu Obeida, Hamas's military wing Al-Qassam Brigades' spokesperson, stated on Monday that the fate of the prisoners held captive by the organization depends on the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) actions against Palestinians.
"The fate of some enemy prisoners depends on the occupation army advancing hundreds of meters in some areas experiencing aggression," his statement shared with the media read. Abu Obeida went on to accuse Israel, or in his words, the Zionist army, of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
His statement came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu noted progress in his country and the organization's negotiations about a new ceasefire.
