Hamas delays next hostage release, warns of military response to Trump's plan
Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for Hamas's military wing, stated that the resistance leadership had monitored multiple breaches by Israel over the past three weeks, including blocking humanitarian aid, targeting civilians, and preventing displaced Palestinians from returning to northern Gaza.
He asserted that Hamas had fulfilled all its obligations under the agreement, while Israel had failed to comply.
"As long as the occupation adheres to the agreement, we remain committed to its terms," Abu Obeida said, adding that the release of prisoners will only proceed once Israel compensates for its past violations and fully abides by the ceasefire terms.
Additionally, Abu Obeida signaled that a military response to Donald Trump's proposal for Gaza remains an option.
His statement came shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's defiant speech before the Knesset, in which he vowed to "crush" Hamas, reshape the Middle East, and achieve a decisive victory.
The latest developments underscore growing tensions following Netanyahu's meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, who proposed the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza—a plan that has drawn widespread international condemnation.
