Hamas suspended negotiations with Israel. This after Netanyahu delayed indefinitely, the delivery of Palestinian prisoners who should have been released on Saturday and announced that the Israelite army is ready to resume combat at any time in the Gaza Strip.
The tensions between Israel and Hamas rose again and the tone was very clear in this warning left by Netanyahu: “We are ready to return to the intense fighting in Gaza at any time. The operational plans are ready. ”
The Prime Minister of Israel also assured that the fight against terrorism is being done on several fronts, announcing the entry of Israeli tanks in the West Bank for the first time in 20 years, as part of an intense military offensive that has expelled 40,000 Palestinians of refugee camps in the territory.
“For the first time in decades, tanks entered Judea and Samaria. This means one thing: we fight terrorism with all the means and everywhere, ”said Israeli Prime Minister.
Hours before, Netanyahu had postponed the liberation of the Palestinian prisoners, indefinitely. For Hamas the decision comes down to a deliberate attempt to break the agreement.
The group has already said that it will not negotiate the next steps until all prisoners are not released this Saturday, the day Hamas delivered six more hostages.
In the range of Gaza, the ceremony staged with the display of the liberated men was repeated on a stage, surrounded by Hamas combatants, armed and hooded. After more than 500 days in captivity they could finally embrace families.
In Telavive was, however, a memorial mounted in honor of the Bibas family. The bodies were delivered last Thursday, under a strong controversy, after the mother of the two children. Hamas eventually sent another body and Israel has already confirmed that it is the Israeli hostage.
