Senior Hamas Official Warns: Israeli Plan Threatens Hostages

A senior Hamas official warned that Israel’s plan to occupy parts of the Gaza Strip would endanger the lives of hostages still held by the group. In an interview with Saudi outlet Al-Hadath, the unnamed official said Hamas would not participate in governing Gaza after the war, signaling a potential shift in the group’s long-standing position. The official acknowledged that Hamas is “under great pressure” to end the war but offered no details about potential concessions or negotiations.
