Hamas has reversed its decision to halt the release of three Israeli hostages, committing to their liberation on Saturday as agreed in a recent cease-fire deal. The announcement comes just three days after the Palestinian group initially stated it was suspending the releases due to alleged Israeli violations of the agreement.
According to Palestinian sources, an agreement was reached to increase aid into the Gaza Strip as part of the new arrangement. However, Israel has yet to respond to Hamas’ statement on the matter.
The hostage release is set to take place as scheduled, despite initial concerns raised by Hamas over Israeli compliance with the cease-fire terms. The development marks a significant shift in the fragile peace process and highlights the importance of adhering to the agreement to prevent further escalation.
