According to Qatar, on Tuesday, it is still "too early" to begin talks regarding a potential prisoner exchange between "Israel" and the Palestinian Resistance.

It is worth noting that recent estimates indicate that the number of Israeli fatalities has reached 1,000, and more than 150 Israelis are held as captives by the Palestinian Resistance, as reported by Israeli media.

When questioned about a potential prisoner exchange, Qatari Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Majed bin Mohammed al-Ansari told reporters it was "too early" for mediation, citing that it was "very difficult" to say any side could begin meditating before developments took place "on the ground."

According to sources, Qatar is pushing for attempts to broker a prisoner swap, with negotiations making "some headway" on Monday.

Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani spoke with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and expressed a "need to contain this escalation," in order for it not to become a regional confrontation.

On Monday, the military spokesperson for Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, announced that every Israeli targeting of a Palestinian home in Gaza without prior warning will be "regrettably" met by executing an Israeli captive.

He added that the execution process will be broadcast in both audio and video, explaining that this decision came after the Israeli enemy committed several massacres against safe children, women, and the elderly in their homes.

Furthermore, Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas' political bureau, declared on Tuesday that the Palestinian Resistance is not willing to engage in discussions regarding a prisoner exchange while Israeli attacks are still underway. He emphasized that any negotiations on this matter would only occur under conditions acceptable to the Resistance.

Haniyeh affirmed in a statement that the movement had conveyed this position to all parties involved, pointing out that the people of Gaza once again proved their steadfastness during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that the number of martyrs resulting from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has surpassed 704, with the number of injuries exceeding 3,900.

In yet another war crime, Israeli occupation forces target journalists who are covering its aggression on Gaza.
