Tehran, IRNA - Osama Hamdan, a senior Hamas leader based in Beirut, says Hamas will not surrender to the Zionist regime's conditions under any circumstances amid the ongoing genocidal war in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has no intention to end the war, Hamdan was quoted by Shehab news agency as saying.

Netanyahu keeps impeding the negotiation from moving forward, he noted.

The Zionist regime's demands on the prisoner exchange agreement are unacceptable, he said, adding that the regime's recent response does not satisfy Palestinians even to some extent.

The regime has been unable to release even one prisoner since the onset of the war, and all the efforts of the regime in this regard have been fruitless, the official underlined.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he dismissed the claims of the assassination of the Hamas deputy military commander Marwan Issa.

The assassination of the leaders will not weaken our resistance, Hamdan said, adding that the White House statement on Marwan Issa indicates the American involvement in the genocide in Gaza.
