The Palestinian militant group Hamas announced on Monday that it would stop freeing Israeli hostages until further notice on what he said is Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement, which increases the risk of Relate the conflict.
The unexpected announcement comes in the midst of growing doubts on an already fragile ceasefire, even if the families of Israeli hostages urge the government to stick to the agreement and that the Gazans try to rebuild their lives in the ‘Broken enclave.
Hamas had to release certain Israeli hostages on Saturday in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and other Palestinians detained in Israeli detention, as had taken place in the past three weeks.
The spokesperson for the group’s military wing, Abu Ubaida, said that since the ceasefire had entered into force on January 19, Israel had delayed the authorization of the displaced Palestinians to return to northern Gaza , targeted from the Gazans with military bombings and shots and had prevented rescue documents from entering the territory.
The ceasefire has been widely organized since January 19, although there have been incidents where the Palestinians were killed by Israeli shots. The flow of humanitarian aid in Gaza has increased from the ceasefire, according to the aid agencies.
As part of the first phase of a ceasefire agreement, Israel withdrew the troops from the crucial corridor of Netzarim which divides Gaza, allowing more Palestinians to return home. But the next phase of the ceasefire was still complicated by President Donald Trump, insisting that the United States should resume Gaza.
But Ubaida said that the next planned hostage release on Saturday would be postponed until Israel complies with the ceasefire agreement and “compensates for the past few weeks”.
The Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz said that the announcement of Hamas had violated the cease-fire agreement and that he had asked soldiers to prepare for the highest level of preparation in Gaza and defend the Israeli communities.
An Israeli official said the Prime Minister held security consultations. The security firm of certain ministers, including defense, national security and foreign affairs, would meet on Tuesday morning, said the manager.
Two Egyptian security sources told Reuters on Monday that mediators feared a break in the ceasefire agreement. Qatar and Egypt have negotiated the agreement alongside the United States.
A group representing hostage families called for mediators to protect the agreement, while another group representing Israeli military veterans accused the government of intentionally sabotage the cease-fire agreement.
Stay in cease-fire talks for phase 2
Until now, 16 of the 33 hostages that will be published during the first phase of 42 days of the agreement have returned home, as well as five Thai hostages which have been returned to an unforeseen version.
In exchange, Israel has released hundreds of prisoners and detainees, ranging from prisoners to purge sentences for life for murderous attacks to the Palestinians detained during the war and detainees without indictment.
But Hamas accused Israel of dragging their feet by authorizing the aid to Gaza, one of the conditions of the first phase of the agreement, a charge that Israel rejected as false.
The Palestinian militant group Hamas handed over three Israeli hostages, whose appearance Gunte shocked the Israelis, while Israel began to release dozens of Palestinians on Saturday during the last stage of a cease-fire contract aimed at putting an end to the 15 -month war in Gaza.
In turn, Israel accused Hamas not to respect the order in which the hostages were to be released and to orchestrate abusive public displays before large crowds when they were given to the Red Cross.
Earlier, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that an Israeli delegation had returned from the cease-fire talks to Qatar, in the midst of the already growing doubts about the Egyptian process and Qatari to end the war.
There were no immediate details on the reason for the return of the talks, which are intended to form the base of a second stage of the ceasefire agreement in several phases and the exchange of hostages For prisoner reached last month.
A Palestinian official close to the discussions said that progress was retained by distrust between the two parties, who accused themselves of violating the terms of the ceasefire.
Palestinians have no right to come back in Trump’s plan
Meanwhile, American president Donald Trump said that the Palestinians of Gaza would not have the right to return under his plan for us “the property” of the territory torn by the war, contradicting other leaders of his administration who have sought to say that Trump only called for the temporary relocation of his population.
Less than a week after launching its plan for the United States take control From Gaza and turn it in “The Riviera of the Middle East”, Trump, in an interview with Bret Baier by Fox News which was to be broadcast on Monday, said “no, they would not do it” when asked them If the Palestinians in Gaza would have a right to return to the territory.
This comes then that it increased pressure on the Arab states, in particular the American allies Jordan and Egypt, to welcome the Palestinians of Gaza, who claim the territory as part of a future homeland.
“We will build safe communities, a little far from where they are, where all this danger is,” said Trump. “In the meantime, I would have it. Consider it as a real estate development for the future. It would be a beautiful field. Not a lot of money spent.”
The Arab nations brutally criticized Trump’s proposal, and Trump’s last words were published one day before he was organized on Tuesday at King Jordan Abdullah II in the White House. In addition to the concerns concerning the endangerment of long-standing objectives of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Egypt and Jordan have raised private security problems concerning the temporary reception of a large number additional refugees in their country temporarily.
After Trump’s first comments last week last week, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, respectfully insisted that Trump wanted the Palestinians to move from Gaza “temporarily” And for a “provisional” period to allow the deletion of debris, the provision of the non -sprodied and reconstruction order.
Trump last week did not exclude the deployment of American troops to help secure the territory, but at the same time, no American fund would intervene to pay the reconstruction of Gaza, raising fundamental questions about the nature of his plan.
