Hamas: Remaining hostages will only be freed if ceasefire is adhered to
Hamas says in a statement that the only way the remaining hostages will be freed is through commitment to the ceasefire deal.
The terror group abides by the Gaza ceasefire agreement and is ready to start talks on a second phase, the statement adds.
“We imposed the synchronization of the process of handing over the bodies of the enemy prisoners with the release of our heroic prisoners,” the statement posted to Telegram continues, adding: “It [Israel] has no choice but to start negotiations for the second phase.”
