The Israeli Prime Minister warned Hamas that he would end the ceasefire in Gaza and restore intensive fighting if the Palestinian group “does not return our hostages to the Saturday at noon”.
Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered the Israeli troops to gain inside and around Gaza in response to Hamas’s announcement, which he postponed free more hostages before the message.
It is not clear whether Netanyahu demands to release all 76 other hostages, or only three, which are planned to be released this Saturday.
On Monday, Hamas said he was detaining their release because Israel violated a three-week ceasefire agreement, including by blocking Israel’s humanitarian posts.
The group’s decision pushed US President Donald Trump to suggest that Israel will cancel the agreement and “let hell come out” if “all hostages” were not returned on Saturday.
In a statement on Tuesday, Hamas said the door was open to us, Qatar and Egyptian mediators to intervene and conclude an agreement on ceasefire – which provides for the issue of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners – back on the way.
Hamas’s high official also rejected what Trump called “the language of threats.”
The backlog over the rest of the hostage comes a week after Trump has announced a controversial plan to take on post -war gas and constantly relocated two million Palestinians living there.
The Palestinian authorities, Hamas and Arab states strongly rejected the proposal, while the UN warned that any forced resettlement would be “equivalent ethnic purification”.
The first stage of the ceasefire agreement should last six weeks, and a total of 33 Israeli hostages exchanged by about 1900 Palestinian prisoners and Gaza detainees.
So far, on January 16, 16 live hostages have been released since the ceasefire on January 19. Hamas also presented five Thai hostages on the terms of the transaction.
The remaining 17 Israeli hostages are two children, one woman, five men over 50 and nine to 50 years old – should be released over the next three weeks. Both sides said eight of these hostages died, but only one was named.
In the transactions of Israeli troops left the densely populated areas of Gaza, hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians return to their homes in the north, and hundreds of auxiliary trucks go to the territory every day.
The Israeli military launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 were taken hostage.
Since then, more than 48 2,10 people have been killed in Gaza, the Ministry of Health’s Health reports.
Most of the gas population has also been displaced several times, almost 70% of buildings, estimated or destroyed, medicine, water, sanitation and hygiene have fallen apart, and there is a lack of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.
