Gaza - Ma'an - Deputy Head of Hamas's political bureau abroad, Musa Abu Marzouk, said that the movement will release the two citizens who hold Russian citizenship as soon as a truce and ceasefire agreement is reached. Abu Marzouk stated that the issue of the Israeli-Russian detainees was raised with the Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for the Middle East and African Countries, Mikhail Bogdanov, indicating: We told him that when Israel accepts the ceasefire decision and the exchange of prisoners, they will be a priority, in honor of our friendship with the Russian Federation. He pointed out that Hamas had previously released an Israeli-Russian citizen outside the framework of the deal, out of respect for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia's good positions towards the Palestinian people. He said, "There are no Russian detainees held by the Hamas movement. All of the detainees are Israelis, and most of them hold different nationalities, including some who hold Americ an, Mexican, Ukrainian, Russian, and other nationalities." He explained that the Hamas movement is still awaiting Israel's approval of the proposal that is consistent with the UN Security Council resolution and the decisions of the International Court of Justice, which Israel has rejected until now.
