Hamas ready to release all hostages

Hamas senior official and chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya said on Thursday that the group is ready to release all remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza in return for an end of the war and the withdrawal of the Israeli army from the Gaza Strip. 

In a televised speech, al-Hayya said that Hamas welcomes the position of US special envoy Adam Boehler “to end the prisoner file and the war together, which intersects with the movement’s position of readiness to reach a comprehensive agreement on the exchange of prisoners in exchange for the end of the war, the withdrawal of the occupation from the Gaza Strip and reconstruction.”
