He further mentioned that an official confirmation had been received from Pakistan regarding its willingness to host 15 prisoners.

Acknowledgment from Hamas
Qaddoumi expressed gratitude towards Pakistan, saying, “We thank the Pakistani government, the Pakistani people, and the Pakistani establishment for this.” He emphasized that this act symbolized Pakistan's enduring support for Jerusalem and its role as a "big brother" to the Palestinian cause.
