Israel delayed releasing 620 Palestinian prisoners on Sunday, citing Hamas' failure to meet conditions. Hamas responded by tying further ceasefire talks to the release.
Israel delayed the planned release of 620 Palestinian prisoners on Sunday, stating that the delay will continue until the release of additional hostages is assured. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office noted that the delay was prompted by Hamas' recent conduct during prisoner handovers, which U.N. officials criticised for not adhering to international law.
A White House statement backed Israel's decision, calling Hamas’ actions “barbaric treatment” of Israeli hostages. National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said the delay was an “appropriate response.” President Donald Trump has signaled that he will support Israel's decision on how to handle Hamas.
Hamas official Basem Naim said that any further discussions about ceasefire steps through mediators depend on the agreed-upon release of the 620 Palestinian prisoners. He stated, “The mediators must ensure that the enemy adheres to the terms of the agreement.”
The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society accused Israel of “state-terrorism” against prisoners and their families. Meanwhile, families like that of Ghasan Washahi, whose brother was set for release, expressed deep disappointment over the delays.
Despite frequent accusations of violations, the ceasefire that started on January 19 has held. However, a long-term resolution remains uncertain. Both sides have expressed willingness to enter a second phase of talks aimed at returning all remaining hostages and facilitating a full withdrawal of Israeli troops.
