Hamas Spokesman, Abdel Latif al-Qanuo, stressed that the Palestinian detainees are a top Palestinian priority.

During a sit-in to show solidarity with the detainees in front of the Beit Hanoun checkpoint, Al-Qanuo said that the detainees' freedom is our responsibility and supporting them is a duty of all Palestinians. "We support them in every step they take to achieve their demands until their liberation," Al-Qanuo added.

"The Zionist occupation's depriving of the detainees' families from visiting their sons is a racist measure that contradicts international laws and humanitarian covenants, and a violation of their legitimate right guaranteed by all laws."
