Yesterday afternoon, with a short statement from the spokesman for the al-Qaassam brigades, Hudhaiifa Kahlout (known as Abu Obeida), Hamas has announced the withdrawal from the agreement on the ceasefire. “Due to the failure to comply with the ceasefire the fire by Israel, the release of the hostages provided for this Saturday was postponed to a date to be destined”, He declared the group. Hamas accused Israel of having hindered the return of the displaced people to the north of the Gaza Strip and to have opened fire on them, as well as denouncing difficulties in letting humanitarian aid enter. However, these accusations are once again unfounded. The Israeli authorities reported that, since the beginning of the cessation of fire, about 13,800 aid trucks have entered Gaza, with an average of 4,200 trucks per week and 600 per day, half of which intended for humanitarian purposes. Israel confirmed that she shot two days ago against armed men who had approached Israeli troops, denying that they were civilians.
Hamas said he wanted to get compensation for what defines violations of the ceasefire by Israel and, in the absence of this measure, threatened not to release the hostages to a new notice. Israel rejected the accusations, stating that the violations were committed by the terrorist organization. After the position of the jihadist group, Israel rejected the accusations, affirming: «Whoever committed the violations is the terrorist organization. The members of the delegation, returned yesterday morning by Qatar, said that Hamas’s conduct jeopardizes the continuation of the agreement. ” The Minister of Defense, Israel Katzhe said he ordered the IDF to maintain the highest level of preparation for any development in Gaza and to secure the border communities, underlining: “We will not return to the reality of 7 October”.
The comment of the President of the United States is very hard, Donald Trump, who launched a warning to Hamas, stating that, if it depended on him, the ceased the fire and the agreement on the hostages should be canceled if Hamas does not release all the hostages. “As far as I am concerned, if all the hostages will not be returned by Saturday at 12:00, I think it’s the right time: I would say to cancel it and close every game, letting hell get wild,” he said Trump. Then he added: «I would say they should be returned by 12:00 on Saturday. And if they are not returned, all of them, not with drops and spizzichi, not two and one and three and four and two, Saturday at 12:00. And afterwards, I would say that hell will crack ». Trump also said that the decision belongs to Israel: «I speak for myself. Israel can ignore it ».
Subsequently, Hamas published another statement in which he says: “The postponement of the release of prisoners is a warning message for Israel and aims to exert pressure for a close adherence to the terms of the agreement. Hamas intentionally published this statement five entire days before the release, to give mediators a sufficient opportunity to press pressure on Israel to fulfill its commitments and to leave the door open so that the exchange takes place in time “. Meanwhile, from this morning, the family members of the hostages still in the hands of Hamas are blocking the highway that connects Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, asking the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, not to compromise the agreement for the release of the hostages. The demonstrators bring signs with the inscription “abandoning the hostages is a war crime” and ask the Prime Minister to “stop undermining the agreement and sending a team of negotiators to Doha with a complete mandate to negotiate the second phase, which It will lead to the release of all the hostages left at one time ». The Israeli security cabinet met at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem to discuss the response to the postponement of the hostages by Hamas. Before the meeting, Benjamin Netanyahu He conducted an assessment of the situation with security managers. Finally, while we write, Hamas, through the spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri, replied to the threats of Donald Trump: «The agreements must be respected and the threats are not needed. Trump must remember that there is an agreement that must be respected by both sides and this is the only way to return the prisoners. The language of threats is useless and complicated only things, “said Hamas’ exponent.
