The Hamas terrorist organization said on Friday that they will not be releasing any more of the hostages they’ve kidnapped until the “Israeli aggression ends.”

“We reiterate that there will be no prisoner swap deal nor negotiation under fire,” the terror group said, but said that they are “open to any initiative that can end this Israeli genocidal war.”

Hamas has also commented about the “post-aggression period,” stating that it is an “internal affair and is only decided by a Palestinian leadership that represents all our Palestinian people.”

[That will likely change; Hamas has a history of such declarations, only to reverse course later. But the Israelis won’t reverse course on this war, no matter how many times Hamas and others claim it to be “genocide,” since Hamas has publicly and repeatedly pledged a total genocide of Israel and the Jews no matter the outcome of this war. — Ed]
