Hamas, we will free hostages if Israel ends the war - News. News.

The day after the Paris summit between Qatar, Egypt and the United States, Hamas dampens expectations for a lasting truce in Gaza. “The success of the Paris meeting depends on Israel agreeing to end global aggression on the Gaza Strip,” Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official, said, as reported by Al Jazeera. The group also says that a full release of the hostages also requires Israel to release all of the thousands of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
