Ghazi Hamad

A security source reported that the long-standing channel with senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad was renewed after October 7 and assisted in negotiations for the release of hostages. Hamad also served as a contact point during the negotiations for the Gilad Shalit deal.

Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad denied crimes against humanity during an interview with Piers Morgan, cynically dismissing the October 7 massacre as a series of 'mistakes'.
