HeadlineFeb 24, 2025

Hamas is accusing Netanyahu of “intentionally sabotaging” the Gaza ceasefire after Israel reneged on its agreement to release 620 imprisoned Palestinians on Saturday after Hamas released six Israeli hostages. During a ceremony in Gaza, one of the hostages, Omer Shem Tov, kissed two masked members of Hamas on the forehead. Al Jazeera reports Hamas says it will not engage in further ceasefire discussions until Israel releases the prisoners.
