DaysofPal- The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of deliberately obstructing the handover of Israeli captives’ bodies and blocking humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, calling it part of his government’s “fascist policy of collective punishment and political manipulation of humanitarian files.”
Hamas said in a statement on Thursday that Netanyahu’s threats to delay the reopening of the Rafah crossing and restrict aid deliveries “expose his government’s vindictive agenda toward Gaza’s civilians.”
The Movement explained that returning the bodies of Israeli captives would “take some time,” as several were buried in tunnels destroyed by Israeli airstrikes and others remain under the rubble of demolished buildings. Hamas held Israel responsible for the destruction that has hindered recovery efforts.
Hamas noted that the bodies it was able to retrieve were immediately transferred, while the rest require specialized equipment that Israel has blocked from entering the enclave. Hamas stressed its commitment to the ceasefire agreement and its intention to hand over all remaining bodies, blaming Netanyahu’s government for obstructing humanitarian and technical facilitation.
