Warning Hamas, Likud minister says current truce deal ‘not sacred’

Sam Sokol is a former political correspondent at The Times of Israel. He was previously a reporter for the Jerusalem Post, Jewish Telegraphic Agency and Haaretz. He is the author of "Putin’s Hybrid War and the Jews"

The ceasefire and hostage release outline agreed with Hamas is “not sacred,” warns Education Minister Yoav Kisch (Likud), following the release of hostages Sagui Dekel-Chen, Sasha Troufanov and Iair Horn.

“We must demand the urgent return of all the live hostages,” he tweets.

“The outline is not sacred. With the full backing of [US] President [Donald] Trump, Hamas must understand that we will not agree to the abuse and prolongation of the captivity of the hostages.”
