Hamas has announced the postponement of the next hostage release scheduled to take place in Gaza on Saturday, citing Israel's alleged violation of the ceasefire agreement. The Qassam Brigades, Hamas' armed wing, stated that the handover of prisoners set for release will be delayed until further notice, pending Israel's compliance with the terms of the agreement.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has responded to Hamas' decision by ordering the military to be on high alert for any potential developments in Gaza. He condemned the postponement as a breach of the ceasefire deal and the hostage release agreement.
