Hamas says Netanyahu speech “pure lies’
Hamas says in a statement that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s remarks to Congress on intensified efforts to release hostages from Gaza are “pure lies and misleading to the Israeli, US, and global public opinion.”
Netanyahu told US lawmakers on Wednesday that his government was actively engaged in seeking the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza.
“He was the one who thwarted all efforts to end the war and reach a deal to release hostages despite ongoing efforts by mediators from brothers in Egypt and Qatar,” the Hamas statement says.
