Izzat al-Rishq’s remarks came shortly after the Israeli army announced that it had discovered the bodies of six hostages in Gaza, asserting that they had been killed by Hamas.
“The ones who kill our people daily are the Israeli colonizers with American weapons. The hostages found in Gaza were not killed by us but by the relentless Zionist bombardment,” Rishq said in a statement.
He further criticized the U.S., saying, “If President [Joe] Biden truly cares about the lives of Israeli hostages, he should cease his support for this enemy with money and weapons and pressure Israel to end its aggression immediately.”
The US state department is not a reputable source. But even worse your link is not relevant to this post.
Hamas said it; WanderingVentra believes it. That’s the attitude I portrayed in the referenced comment: the need for a reputable source like Hamas to confirm a story before it should be given credence.
It must feel strange that nobody believes IDF or the state department anymore.
Wonder where their reputation went. You think they might have lost it by lying all the time?
I see what your confusion is now. The reputable source in my comment is Hamas, not the US State Department.
The article you posted is just about what Hamas is claiming. WanderingVentra read the article about what Hamas is claiming and decided it answered the question of what happened to the hostages.
Kind of like how the CCP lies all the time to cover up stuff like killing a bunch of Uyghurs… right?
