Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated early on Sunday morning that the Jewish state is not releasing Palestinian prisoners who were slated to be freed as part of the deal with Hamas.
“In light of Hamas’s repeated violations, including the ceremonies that humiliate our hostages and the cynical exploitation of our hostages for propaganda purposes, it has been decided to delay the release of terrorists that was planned for yesterday until the release of the next hostages has been assured, and without the humiliating ceremonies,” Netanyahu stated, per an English translation provided by his office.
