Abu Zaida: Message from Haniyeh to Israel
Sufian Abu Zaida's article circulated about secret communication activities that lasted for about a year and a half between Israel and Hamas prior to the October 7, 2023 attack. He confirmed that he conveyed a message from Yahya Sinwar to the Israeli side. These communications aimed to reach an agreement concerning Israelis held by Hamas and Palestinian prisoners, proposing the release of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of the detained Israelis. The discussions also addressed humanitarian and civil issues in the Gaza Strip, such as allowing workers to enter and improving water and electricity supplies. These issues were indirectly linked to the prisoner and remains file. Youssef Abu Zaida stated that the contents of the messages have not been disclosed yet and that he will provide more details in an upcoming interview. These statements come amid Israeli discussions about previous contacts with Hamas before the attack, with indications that Israeli officials did not interpret the messages as signs of an imminent assault.
