Hamas warns that ceasefire can collapse
After hostage exchange, the Hamas warned that ceasefire is in danger And it can collapse – warned a member of the political office of the Palestinian Islamist movement.
Speaking to the France-Presse Agency (AFP), Bassem Naïm accused Israel of “procrastination” In the implementation of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement, lasting six weeks. This situation, he warned, puts the deal “in danger and can lead to his collapse.”
So far, no advance of negotiations related to the second phase of the agreement was disclosedwhich aims to ensure the liberation of all hostages and should start on Monday.
Following the latest hostage exchange, Hamas denounced what he classified as a “Murder to Counting” of Palestinian detainees In Israeli arrests, after the hospitalization of seven released prisoners.
Hospitalizations, including Jamal al-Tawil, a Hamas political leader in the West Bank, reflect “ aggressions and systematic abuse From the Israeli prison authorities against our prisoners, with total contempt for their age or for the health problems they face, ”Hamas wrote, denouncing a” murder policy to the dropper within prisons. “
Hamas released three Israelite hostages on Saturday, which kidnapped on October 7, 2023, when he attacked South Israel and triggered an Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip, in exchange for 183 Palestinian prisoners.
To AFP, Bassem Naïm also urged Arab countries to “not normalize relationships” with Israel after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuhaving stated that an agreement with Saudi Arabia would “realize”.
Riade reacted strikingly to Netanyahu’s statements, stating that there will be no normalization without the creation of a Palestinian state, qualifying his position as “unshakable”.
Saudi Arabia had begun negotiations with Israel in 2020 in exchange for a defense pact with Washington and assisting a civil nuclear program, but suspended the talks after the war in Gaza.
