Hamas said on Monday that he was delaying the publication of Israeli hostages planned for this Saturday “until further notice”, accusing Israel of not holding a complex agreement on the ceasefire between the two pages.
In a short statement, spokesman Hamas accused Israel of breaking various aspects of fragile agreement in order to stop the war in Gaza, which entered into force three weeks ago.
As part of the agreement, Hamas released Israeli hostage in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prison.
There was no immediate response from Israel.
Over the last three weeks, Hamas has released 21 hostages in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
