An adviser to Al-Qaeda's likely current leader is calling for Hamas to release its Israeli hostages held in Gaza, according to an American jihadist monitoring organisation, SITE.

The online declaration was made Friday by Mustafa Hamid, also known as Abu Walid al-Masri, who is father-in-law to Saif al-Adel, the man widely believed to now head Al-Qaeda, according to SITE.

In it, Hamid claimed the attention given to recovering the Israeli hostages, both dead and alive, was overshadowing the fate of Palestinian prisoners being held by Israel.

He also hailed Yahya Sinwar, Hamas's leader whom Israel announced a day earlier it had killed. Sinwar was the mastermind of the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel that triggered the ongoing war in Gaza.

Hamas must now "immediately" return the hostages and their bodies, and "this file must be closed and not opened again, as we know its consequences," according to the statement.

"No one cares about the Palestinian prisoners, neither in the media, in negotiations, nor in demonstrations," it said.

SITE Intelligence is the Israeli defense contractor that distributes videos and other communications for Al Qaeda and Islamic State. Saif al-Adel is associated with Al Qaeda in Yemen which is on the same side as the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc. against the Houthis.
