Hamas says it will not accept threats from the US and Israel over an ongoing truce in Gaza, amid an impasse between the parties over the implementation of the ceasefire deal.
Hamas has said it will postpone the release of the hostages planned for Saturday.
“Our position is clear, and we will not accept the language of American and Israeli threats. Israel must commit to implementing the terms of the ceasefire agreement for the release” of the hostages, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem says in a statement.
