Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Israel's military to bolster troop presence near the Gaza Strip after Hamas warned of canceling a planned hostage release on Saturday. The threat has heightened tensions and jeopardized the fragile ceasefire agreement. While Hamas has previously released 21 hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, it now accuses Israel of insufficient aid delivery to Gaza, leading to the postponement of another three hostage releases.
An Israel i official says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the army to beef up troops in and around the Gaza Strip after Hamas threatened to call off a scheduled hostage release on Saturday.The official said Netanyahu also ordered officials “to prepare for every scenario if Hamas doesn’t release our hostages this Saturday.
Under the ceasefire, Hamas has released 21 hostages in a series of exchanges for Palestinian prisoners. But it said Monday it was delaying the next release of three more hostages after accusing Israel of failing to allow enough aid into Gaza under the deal.President Donald Trump has said Israel should cancel the entire ceasefire if all of the roughly 70 hostages held by Hamas aren’t freed by Saturday.
