Hamas on Monday accused Israel of repeatedly violating the cease-fire agreement and announced it was postponing the release of three hostages that had been scheduled for Saturday.
Hamas spokesman Abu Obaida said the delay would remain in effect until Israel recommits to the agreement and provides "compensation" for recent alleged breaches.
He outlined the violations Hamas claims have occurred since the deal took effect, including restrictions on displaced Palestinians returning to northern Gaza, Israeli shelling in various areas and a failure to deliver humanitarian aid as agreed. "Meanwhile, the resistance has upheld all of its commitments," he added.
