Hamas has announced an indefinite suspension of Israeli hostage releases, citing multiple ceasefire violations by Israel.
The militant group accused Israel of delaying the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza, targeting civilians with shelling, and blocking humanitarian aid.
The latest hostage exchange, scheduled for Saturday, has now been halted.
In response, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz condemned Hamas’s decision as a “complete violation” of the truce and ordered the IDF to prepare for potential military action.
The ceasefire agreement, which has facilitated previous hostage swaps, now faces growing uncertainty.
