Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said today that there is a real chance to resolve the issue of prisoners and missing persons in the Gaza Strip if there is a serious desire of the occupation leadership, pointing out that this leadership ignored the opening of the case of missing soldier Abraham Mengistu because he is a Jew out of Ethiopian.
This came in a televised address to the spokesman of the Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, coinciding with the disregard of the Israeli parties to the file of prisoners held by Hamas, with the approach of the elections scheduled for September 17 next.
Abu Ubaida said, "There is a real chance to resolve the file of prisoners and missing persons if there is a serious desire of the Israeli occupation leadership to move the file," noting that the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu evade a prisoner exchange deal with the resistance.
He added that the political and military class in Israel is practicing misleading and lying about the file of prisoners and missing persons and does not want to face the truth.
Abu Obeida confirmed that the Qassam Brigades are familiar with the world on the issue of the killing and capture of Israeli soldiers in Gaza during the war of 2014, while the occupation continued to lie and mislead and fold files, as he put it.
The spokesman also said that the Israeli leadership ignored the fate of the missing soldier Abraham Mengistu because he is a Jew of Ethiopian origin.
He said that the issue of this soldier "was never raised before intermediaries who intervened for years in the case of prisoners .. Did not try to lead the enemy to ask him whether he is among the living or dead."
"This government divides its constituency on ethnic and sectarian grounds and shamelessly practices racial discrimination even on issues of a human dimension," he said.
