The terrorist group Hamas is demanding that Israel release six high-profile terrorists in exchange for the hostages it still holds

The group also wants the entry of humanitarian aid trucks and greater freedom of movement for Gaza residents.

A Palestinian representative told the al-Arabiya channel that, prior to negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Sharm Al-Sheikh, Egypt, Hamas presented a list of the names of six terrorists it wants released.

They are:

– Marwan Barghouti: Founder of the al-Aqsa Brigades, linked to the Fatah group.

– Ahmad Sa’adat: Leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), responsible for the assassination of Israeli minister Rehavam Ze’evi.

– Hassan Salameh: Member of Hamas, responsible for several suicide attacks in Israel.

– Ibrahim Hamad: A prominent Hamas member who commanded a terrorist network.

– Abdullah Barghouti and Abbas al-Said: Hamas terrorists from Ramallah and Tulkarm, responsible for organizing suicide bombings.

In addition to the release of these prisoners, Hamas also demands that 400 trucks of humanitarian aid enter the Gaza Strip daily and that residents be able to travel more easily from the south to the north of the region.

According to the Algerian newspaper al-Khaber, a letter sent by Hassan Salameh to Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, influenced the decision to attack Israel.

In the letter, Salameh, who is imprisoned, expressed frustration with Hamas’s strategy of using the bodies of captured soldiers to pressure for the release of prisoners, as this tactic was not working.
