Hamas said on Saturday in a statement that today's prisoner swap shows that they remain committed to upholding the ceasefire agreement.
"The handover comes in a majestic national scene, reflecting the unity of our people and factions, while the occupation is experiencing a state of fragmentation and exchange of accusations. he huge public presence during the handover of the six enemy prisoners today carries a renewed message to the enemy and its supporters: The cohesion between our people and their resistance is deep-rooted and solid," Hamas stated.
The militant group also reiterated that they are ready to move to the second phase of the deal, while blasting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for delaying the process, to benefit from "incitement of the Trump administration."
