The ceasefire between Hamas and Israel seems to be postponed once again. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has shown a tough stance against Hamas. On Sunday, Netanyahu said a ceasefire in Gaza would not begin until Israel received a list of hostages to be released from Hamas.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that a ceasefire in Gaza would not take effect until Hamas received a list of hostages to be released.
He reiterated the warning in a statement just an hour before the ceasefire was to take effect at around 8:30 a.m. local time.
Hamas has cited “technical reasons” for the delay in handing over the names. It said in a statement that it remained committed to the ceasefire agreement announced last week.
Let us tell you that the agreement with Hamas for ceasefire in Gaza and release of hostages was approved by the Israeli cabinet on Saturday after a meeting that lasted for more than six hours. According to local media, eight cabinet members opposed the agreement, while 24 ministers supported the agreement. Opponents said the agreement represented a surrender to Hamas.
The Israeli Justice Ministry has published a list of 737 Palestinian prisoners who are to be released under a deal that halted conflict with Hamas in Gaza. Meanwhile, since the agreement was agreed in Gaza, Israeli warplanes have continued attacks.
