Israel has said it will not release two Palestinian doctors, including paediatrician Hussam Abu Safiya, as part of the ceasefire deal, a Hamas official told CNN.
Safiya was beaten and kidnapped by Israeli forces in Gaza during a raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital in December last year after he refused to abandon patients under siege.
Footage in the aftermath of the attack showed Safiya wearing a white medical overcoat crossing a street strewn with rubble. Safiya has been held since then without charge.
It does not say whether hamas demanded his release or not, just that a hamas person confirmed the israelis refused to release him as part f the ceasefire deal. Dont pin the blame for his imprisonment on hamas.
My point is they very specifically demanded the release of people involved in October 7th, but not these people.
If they had they would rightfully be calling Israel out for breaking the deal already
