Hamas says he will release three more Israeli hostages as planned – National

Hamas said on Thursday that he would publish three more Israeli hostages as planned, inserting the way to Solving a large dispute over a ceasefire in Gaza’s belt.

Hamas threatened to delay the next release of the prisoners, accusing Israel of not fulfilling his obligations to allow the tents and shelters, among other alleged violations of the ceasefire. Israel, with the support of US President Donald Trump, threatened to renew his offensive if hostages are not released.

There was no direct comment from Israel on Hamas’s announcement, but this should allow the fire to continue to continue for the time being, although the future of the tribute remains in doubt.

Hamas said his delegation spoke in Cairo with Egyptian officials and was in contact with the Qatari Prime Minister about the bringing in Gaza multiple shelters, medical supplies, fuel and heavy ruins cleaning equipment – his key demand in recent days. The statement said that the mediators were committed to “removing all obstacles”.

Shortly after the announcement, Hamas spokesman Abdul Latif al-Qanou confirmed Associated Press with the phone that three soils would be published on Saturday.

The Egyptian State Qahera TV, which is close to the safety services of the country, reported that Egypt and Qatar were able to resolve the dispute. Two Arab countries served as key intermediaries with Hamas and helped mediate the tribute, which entered into force in January, more than 15 months in the war.

Egyptian media also broadcast footage on which there are trucks that carry temporary housing and bulldozers on the Egyptian side of Rafah’s transition with Gaza. They reported that the trucks headed for the Israeli inspection area before they moved to Gaza.

The truce faces a much bigger challenge in the coming weeks. The first phase should be concluded in early March, and there were no significant negotiations in the second phase, in which Hamas would let dozens of the remaining hostages in exchange for the end of the war.

Trump’s proposal to remove about two million Palestinians from Gaza and inhabits them in other countries, he perfected the future of the tribute to further doubt. Israel welcomed the plan, but Palestinians and Arab countries fiercely rejected, who refused to accept any influx of refugees. Human rights groups say this could be a war crime under international law.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahua Extraordinary Allies are already calling for the continuation of the war after the first phase with the aim of implementing Trump’s plan and destruction of Hamas, which remains control of the territory after surviving one of the most deadly and most devastating army of the campaign in recent history.

The conflict began on October 7, 2023, when the militants under the guidance of Hamas broke into Israel, killing about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and about 250 people. More than half were released into contracts with Hamas or other agreements, eight were rescued and dozens of bodies were recovered.

Prisoners are among the only negotiating chips that Hamas has left, and it may be difficult to make the group to further issue if he believes that the war will continue.

Trump gave mixed signals about what he wants to see in Gaza.

He deserved to mediate the coastal fire, which was reached several days before he assumed his duty after more than a year of negotiations under the management of Biden. However, he also expressed concern about the fact that the agreement was taking place and says that it was at Israel whether to continue the war or not, while he pledged the continuation of US military support.

Seventy -three soils have not yet been released, which is believed to be about half dead. Almost all remaining hostages are men, including Israeli soldiers.

The war killed over 48,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, which does not say how many fighters were. Israel says he killed over 17,000 militants without giving evidence.

The Israeli offensive has erased large parts of Gaza. In the height, the fighting displaced 90% of the 2.3 million residents of territory. Hundreds of thousands have returned to their homes since the truce, although many found only the crowds of ruins and buried human remains and unexploded orders.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, echoing Trump, said on Wednesday that “all hell would break through” if Hamas stops release hostages. He said that the “new war in Gaza” would not end until Hamas was defeated, which would allow Trump’s vision of mass displacement to be carried out.

Since much fewer hostages remained in Gaza, the Israeli army would have more freedom to act.

He would also face far fewer limitations from the United States, the main military patron. The Biden administration, providing key military and diplomatic support, occasionally pressed Israel to allow in more assistance and at one point suspended some weapons shipments. It also said that there should be no permanent displacement of the Palestinian population of Gaza.

Trump has raised restrictions on the transfer of weapons, and his administration is progressing by selling weapons worth $ 7 billion approved under President Joe Biden.

Trump said the Gaza population should move elsewhere in the region, and rich Arab countries pay for it. He suggested that after the fighting was completed, Israel would transfer control of Gaza to the United States, which would then rearrange it as a “Riviera of the Middle East”.

Israeli Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich, a key partner in the fragile coalition of Netanyahu, called for the continuation of the war, the “voluntary migration” of the large number of Palestinians from Gaza and the re -establishment of Jewish settlements.
