Hamas threatens to suspend hostage talks unless urgent aid is brought into the north of the Gaza Strip, where aid agencies have warned of a looming famine.
“The movement intends to suspend negotiations until aid is brought into northern Gaza,” a senior source in the Palestinian terror group tells AFP.
“Negotiations cannot be held while hunger is ravaging the Palestinian people,” he says, asking not to be identified as he is not authorized to speak on the issue.
