Sinwar said that the indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel over a prisoner exchange were suspended after the start of the political crisis in Israel.
Sinwar also declared that the coronavirus pandemic was retribution for the decision by President Donald Trump to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in May 2018.
The Hamas leader flatly rejected any peace initiative coming from the US president, saying that "all transactions aimed at eliminating the Palestinian issue will fail."
