Hamas says he will postpone the hostage release, blaming Israel

A spokesman for Hamas’s armed wing says the group postpones the next planned release of Israeli hostages, accusing what he said are the Israeli violations of the fire termination transaction.

Three hostages held in Gaza should be released on Saturday in exchange for more Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.

Abu Naparies said the release would not continue until Israel has fulfilled its duties. He said the violations include a delay in the return of the displaced Palestinians to the north, the shooting of human beings and the inability to allow humanitarian assistance to Gaza “in all the agreed forms”.

Israel’s Defense Minister called the message “a complete violation of the fire termination agreement”.

Defense Minister Israel Katz said he had ordered the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) “to prepare at the highest level of signal for every possible scenario in gas and to protect communities.

“We will not allow a return to the reality of October 7 (2023),” when Hamas attacked Israel, challenging the war.

Hamas’s message came shortly before people gathered in Tel Aviv to celebrate Israeli hostage’s 24th birthday Alon Ohlhis second in captivity.

He was taken as a hostage from the Nova Festival on October 7, 2023.

Mia Goldstein, present at the Racing for Ohl, told the BBC that he had to “huge pressure” to remove the other hostages, adding that the delay of Hamas was “horrifying”.

Michal Naman, who was protesting in Tel Aviv following Hamas’s message, said the hostages “had to be out a few months ago. You see the situation, they die there, and their blood is in the hands of this government. “

The spokesman for the United Nations organization Farhan Hack said that “any delays” of the fragile transaction to terminate the fire would be a problem and stated that all participating parties should adhere to their earlier agreements and terms.

But Hamas said that “the door remains open” for the exchange that continues on Saturday – if Israel “complies”, according to the AFP news agency.

The claims made by Hamas on Monday include that Israel “slows down the return of displaced persons to North Gaza”, “directing them with firing and shooting in different areas of the strip” and for breaching the supply agreement.

But the message did not refer to Donald Trump or the US policy, but that comes after strong remarks made last week by the US President for the United States Taking over the ownership of the gas And you reconstruct it.

His proposal included the relocation of Palestinians outside the territory and is commendable as “revolutionary and creative” by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Warrior The statement is the latest in a series of indictments between the two countries.

Israel slowed down for two days, allowing displaced Palestinians to return north of the Gaza Strip, accusing Hamas of renewing a commitment to release a female Israeli civilian hostage.

Recently, Israel was also late with the buses, taking Palestinian prisoners to be released on the occupied West Bank after expressing anger the way the hostages were released through crowds of viewers in Gaza earlier.

On Friday, Hamas exceeded by a short time deadline to release the names of hostages to be released on Saturday – As required by the termination of fire – prompting concern in Israel. This happened after accusing Israel that he was unable to observe his commitment to strengthen the amount of humanitarian aid authorized in Gaza – to deal with what was described by the UN humanitarian chief as a “massive jump”.

As the cessation of fire began on January 19, 16 Israeli and five Thai hostages, they were released in exchange for 566 prisoners.

By the end of the first stage of fire termination, 33 hostages and 1900 prisoners are expected to be released after three weeks. Israel says eight out of 33 are dead.

Hamas took 251 hostages and killed about 1,200 people when he attacked in October 2023. Israel launched a military campaign in response, killing at least 48,000 Palestinians, according to Hamas’s health ministry.

Seventy-three hostages, taken on October 7, and three others took a decade earlier, still held in Gaza.
