Senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya is currently with a delegation in Cairo to meet with Egyptian officials regarding the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, the terror group says in a statement.
Hamas said on Monday it intended to delay the next release of Israeli hostages slated for Saturday “until further notice,” alleging Israeli violations of the ongoing hostage-ceasefire deal.
Today’s announcement comes a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to resume “intense fighting” in Gaza if Hamas does not free the next hostages by midday Saturday.
