A senior Hamas official told the London-based Qatari news outlet, The New Arab, that the terrorist group would not be releasing information on the well-being of any of the hostages until a ceasefire is enacted, the pan-Arab news organization reported on Saturday.
The official was quoted as having said Hamas "will not provide any details about the abductees it is holding, without significant relief in the suffering of the residents of Gaza and the application of a comprehensive ceasefire."
He added that "Hamas will not make any concessions that the US and Israel want to force on it” and “Everything has a price, and we expressed clear demands.”
