“Israel will not allow a truce without letting out our hostages,” the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahua said in a statement of the Office of Prime Minister Benjamin. “If Hamas continues his refusal, there will be further consequences.”

Hamas accused Israel of trying to demolish an existing tribute agreement and said his decision to end help “cheap extortion, war crime and a sharp attack” on the truce. Both sides stopped saying that the fire broke out.

Egypt, who served as a key mediator with a militant group, condemned the decision of Israel to stop help, accusing her of using “starvation as a weapon.”

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on Sunday called for the immediate implementation of the next stage of the trial of Israel-Hamas.

Netanyahu said that according to the existing agreements, Israel could continue the fight after the first phase if he believes that the negotiations are ineffective. He said that the truce would only continue if Hamas continued to release hostages, telling his cabinet that “there will be no free lunches.” He said Israel was “fully coordinated” with President Trump’s administration.

There was no direct comment from the United States about the proposal published by Israel or his decision to end assistance.

According to this proposal, Hamas would leave half the hostages on the first day, and the rest when an agreement was reached on a permanent tribute, according to Netanyahua office.

Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Israel was ready to negotiate in the next phase, but insisted that more hostages were released during the interview. He said that Israel had received a lateral letter from Biden’s administration, saying that there was no automatic crossing between the certificate phases.

“We have fulfilled all our obligations (in phase 1) until the last day, which was yesterday,” he said at a press conference. “It is our view that the hostages should be released during the negotiations.”

Hamas warned that any attempt to delay or cancel the fire agreement would have “humanitarian consequences” for hostage and reiterated that the only way to release was being applied by the existing agreement, which did not determine the time strip to release the remaining prisoners.

Hamas said he was ready to release hostages at once in phase 2, but only in return for the release of several Palestinian prisoners, a permanent tribute and withdrawal of Israeli forces.
