Ahead of the meeting, Hamas is vigorously rejecting Israel’s allegations that Palestinian forces in Gaza are abusing Israeli captives by depriving them of food. “For the Israeli prisoners held by the resistance in Gaza, they are experiencing the same conditions as the people of Gaza,” Hamas officials wrote in an August 4 letter to the council obtained by Drop Site. “The famine—caused by the occupation regime—affects all areas of the Strip, and inevitably its effects are reflected upon the 'Israeli' captives, just as they are reflected upon their captors, their families, and the overwhelming majority of Gaza’s population.”

These bastards blocked food, water and medicine since March.

What did they expect?

I'm certain, they'll draw similarities to the Warsaw Ghetto to attack Hamas, but will conveniently forget to mention that they are the ones causing this for the whole of Gaza. So that the Western Pro-Genocide Journalists can have more talking points.

Edit: It seems it was the hostages' families who are drawing comparisons to the holocaust. But to actually call for an ending of the fighting.
