Hamas said on Monday that it was postponing the issuance of the Israeli hostages planned on Saturday “until another notice”, accusing Israel of not adhering to a complex approval of the shooting between the two sides.

This step is the latest-which is likely to be more dangerous-in a series of conflicts that threatened the fragile deal, which came into effect three weeks ago, and the 15-month war stopped between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

According to the conditions of the three -stage agreement, Hamas gradually liberated some of the Israeli hostages carrying it in Gaza in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons.

However, while five exchanges occurred, Hamas accused Israel of violating various other aspects of the deal. She said that Israel had delayed the return of the Palestinians to the north of Gaza, and opened fire in many regions, and it was limited to the entry of humanitarian aid to the pocket.

The two sides have traded accusations of the agreement’s violations for the past three weeks, which led to the delay of some exchanges for a short period, but without eventually hindering the deal.

Hamas added the postponement of the following hostage edition will remain in place until Israel corresponds to the agreement and compensates for the past weeks retroactively.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel described Katz’s declaration as “a complete violation of the ceasefire agreement,” and said that he ordered the Israeli army “to prepare at the highest level of alerting any possible scenario in Gaza and the protection of societies” southern Israel. “

In the first part of the United States -led intermediaries, Hamas was supposed to launch 33 Israeli hostages, including all children, women and men over the age of 50 700 Palestinian prisoners. Hamas also issued five Thai workers who also seized during the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which sparked the war.

The second stage of the deal is scheduled to start, as Hamas aims to release all the remaining hostile hostages – in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, the full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a permanent end to fight – in March.

But the negotiations have not yet begun in the details. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu-under severe pressure from his far-right allies to resume the war when the first stage ends-said last week that he would continue to fight until Hamas was destroyed, and suspicions of the second stage of the valid.

The prospects for a long -term deal were also launched by US President Donald Trump’s announcement that he wanted the United States to take over Gaza and resettle its population of more than 2 million people elsewhere. The idea sparked severe opposition from the Palestinians, the Arab world and many of the international community.

In an interview with Fox News, it is scheduled to be broadcast later on Monday, Trump said that the Palestinians who left under his plan will not have the right to return “because they will have better housing.” This contradicts US officials who suggested that their resettlement will be temporary.

“I am talking about building a permanent place for them because if they have to return now. He said,” This is not good for housing. “Think about it as a real estate development for the future.”

He also repeated his assertion that he would persuade Egypt and Jordan to the Palestinian refugees, something that has excluded them again and again.

Other Western and Arab countries argued that the Palestinian Authority – which is exerting limited control in parts of the occupied West Bank – must take over the administration of Gaza once the war ends.

In a sign of the Palestinian Authority’s efforts to strengthen his international position, its President Mahmoud Abbas issued a decree on Monday to reform a controversial system that prompted benefits to the families of Palestinian prisoners, including those convicted of attacks that killed the Israelis.

The United States and Israel have long criticized the regime, saying it was rewarding violence against Israel, as the payments were linked to the duration of the time when the prisoner spent in prison. Under the new system, the advantages will be linked to the financial needs of families.
