The Al-Qassam Brigades announced in a statement today that, “Since October 7 until now, the barbaric Zionist bombing of Gaza has caused the loss of more than 60 enemy prisoners in Gaza.”

The statement added, "After the search operations, 23 bodies of them are still missing under the rubble until now, and it seems that we will never be able to reach them due to the continued brutal aggression of the occupation against Gaza."

While Israel says that the ceasefire can only be in exchange for the release of the kidnapped people, Hamas refuses to cooperate, and continues to prevent visits to prisoners even after a month has passed since the war.

The Hebrew channel "Kan" reported today that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken informed Israeli officials that the ceasefire is "important for the sake of world public opinion."

Other media outlets also quoted Blinken as saying in the “cabinet” war council that “there is great damage to those not involved in the war,” and that “Israel must move more to prevent such damage.”

Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy responded to Blinken, according to two sources who commented on the details of the discussion: “If we had listened to the generals you sent here, our plans would have been more aggressive.”

A number of demonstrators gathered in front of Netanyahu’s residence and on Shaul HaMelech Street in Tel Aviv, and demanded his “immediate” resignation.

The families of the prisoners held by Hamas also joined them and clashed with the police and chanted slogans demanding the "immediate return" of the prisoners.

Suspension of the evacuation of foreigners and holders of dual citizenship

In addition, the Hamas government suspended the evacuation of foreigners and those holding dual citizenship to Egypt due to Israel’s refusal to facilitate the transfer of wounded Palestinians to Egyptian hospitals.

The government source told the French press: “No foreign passport holders will travel from the Gaza Strip until the wounded are coordinated and exited from hospitals in Gaza and the north towards the Rafah crossing between the besieged Strip and Egyptian territory.”

An Egyptian security source confirmed to Agence France-Presse that “no injured person or holder of a foreign passport arrived at the Egyptian Rafah crossing” on Saturday.

He added that the movement stopped "after the bombing of ambulances that were transporting the injured to the crossing."

Hamas sources indicated that Israel refused to allow the departure of many of the wounded to Egypt, whose names were included in the list sent to the Egyptian authorities.

Since Wednesday, hundreds of foreigners and dual nationals have been evacuated from Gaza, which has been subjected to relentless Israeli bombing since the attack carried out by Hamas on October 7, which left more than 1,400 dead, most of them civilians, according to the Israeli authorities.
