Israeli ambassador to Russia discusses stage of negotiations between Israel and Hamas

Holding talks on the situation around the Palestinian-Israeli conflict with the Hamas movement is impossible at this time, Israeli Ambassador to Russia Alexander Ben Zvi told Russian media, SIA reports.

"At this point, it’s impossible," he said.

When asked if the Israeli side is ready to negotiate on hostages, the Israeli diplomat said that the main humanitarian task is the "release of hostages, especially women, children, older people and so on."

"Some of them, especially small children, may be in poor health or wounded," he added.

The Associated Press (AP) said earlier, citing Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani, that the Hamas Palestinian radical movement is potentially ready to release hostages if Israel stops bombing the Gaza Strip.

Musa Abu Marzouk, a member of the Political Bureau of the militants and the head of the Foreign Policy Office, stated that it has been revealed that Russia has provided a list containing the names of 8 individuals previously alleged to have been detained by Hamas leadership.

He also added that Hamas treats these detainees as "guests."

Marzouk mentioned that it is quite challenging to locate the individuals appointed by Russia but assured that they are making every possible effort in this regard.

According to him, as soon as they are identified, the militants will release them immediately.
