Hamas: Statements by Shin Bet chief reveal Netanyahu’s efforts to thwart negotiations

GAZA, March 22 (YPA) – The Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” said that the statements of the head of Shin Bet reveal Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu’s deliberate manipulation of the negotiations file, and his efforts to thwart any agreement for his own political goals.

In a press statement on Friday, Hamas added that these confessions from within the occupation leadership confirm that Netanyahu was and still is the real obstacle to any exchange deal.

It pointed out that Netanyahu’s attempts to exclude influential security figures from the negotiations reflect his internal crisis and the worsening crisis of trust between him and his security system, and reveal his lack of seriousness in reaching a real agreement.

The Shin Bet chief’s statements emphasized that Netanyahu sought to to stall and gain time, without achieving tangible results.

Hamas called on American officials to stop holding Hamas responsible for disrupting the agreement, and to accuse Netanyahu of being directly responsible for the continued suffering of the Israeli captives and their families.

The Movement held Netanyahu and his extremist government fully responsible for prolonging the suffering of their prisoners and their families, stressing that the only way to release the captives is to stop the aggression, return to negotiations, and implement the agreement away from political maneuvers.
