Tel Aviv: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has postponed the scheduled release of over 600 Palestinian prisoners after Hamas released six Israeli hostages.
According to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, Hamas resorted to political propaganda during the release of the prisoners, due to which the Israeli government has decided to postpone the release of the Palestinian prisoners.
Netanyahu made it clear that the Palestinian prisoners will not be released until the release of the hostages is carried out without any ceremony.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinian families in the West Bank are in extreme anxiety as they await the release of their loved ones. Many Palestinians have been imprisoned in Israeli prisons for years and hopes of their release under the ceasefire agreement are fading.
