Mediators fear breakdown of the Gaza hostage-ceasefire agreement – Egyptian security sources
CAIRO, Egypt — Mediators fear a breakdown of the Gaza hostage release-ceasefire agreement, two Egyptian security sources say, after Hamas said Israel was not serious about executing the deal and announced it would stop releasing hostages until further notice.
Hamas negotiators say American guarantees for the ceasefire are no longer in place, given a plan by US President Donald Trump to displace Palestinians from Gaza to rebuild it. Mediators postponed talks until a clear indication of Washington’s intent to continue the phased deal is received.
