Hamas in an official statement says Israel is “still delaying the implementation of the terms of the ceasefire” and hostage deal by not allowing displaced Palestinians to return to the northern Gaza Strip.
“We hold the occupation responsible for any disruption in implementing the agreement and its repercussions on the rest of the stations [of the agreement],” Hamas adds.
Under the deal, Israel was to withdraw from part of the Netzarim Corridor tomorrow and allow Palestinians to return to northern Gaza via the coastal road.
Israel has said it will not allow Gazans to reach the north of the Strip until Hamas “arranges” the release of civilian Arbel Yehud, who was supposed to be freed today.
