An adviser to the suspected leader of the terrorist network al-Qaeda is calling on Hamas to “immediately” release the Israeli hostage held in Gaza.
The statement was made online on Friday by Mustafa Hamid, who is the father-in-law of Saif al-Adel, who is widely believed to lead the network, the US intelligence group Site, which monitors online extremism, said.
Hamid believes that the attention given to bringing home the Israeli hostages – both dead and alive – overshadows the issue of the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
Over 100 Israeli hostages remain in captivity in Gaza since the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7 last year. However, it is unclear how many of the hostages are still alive.
