Hamas Betrayed? Netanyahu Postpones Prisoners’ Release Citing ‘Humiliating’ Hostage Handovers

Hamas Betrayed? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indefinitely postponed the release of Palestinian detainees, citing Hamas’ “humiliating” hostage handover ceremonies as a violation of the ceasefire agreement. The decision comes after footage surfaced of released Israeli captives appearing to praise their captors and question the ongoing conflict. In the viral video, two Israeli hostages—who were not scheduled for release—made desperate pleas for Netanyahu to secure their freedom, warning that military pressure would lead to their deaths. With 63 Israelis still held in Gaza and 602 Palestinian prisoners awaiting release, tensions have escalated, throwing the fragile ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal into uncertainty. #HamasBetrayed #Israel #PalestinianPrisoners #PrisonersRelease #PalestinianDetainees #IsraelHamasWar #HostageCrisis #CeasefireDeal #PrisonerExchange #IsraelHamasConflict #HostageRelease #IsraelDelaysRelease #PalestinianFreedom #IsraelGaza #HamasIsrael Also Read No Injuries From Israeli Bus Explosions In Suspected Militant Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/no-injuries-from-israeli-bus-explosions-in-suspected-militant-attack-4076703.html?ref=DMDesc Marco Rubio Supports Israel's War Objectives in Gaza, Advocates for Hamas Eradication :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rubio-endorses-israel-war-aims-gaza-hamas-elimination-011-4073063.html?ref=DMDesc India & Israel Strategic Partnership Ensuring Middle East Stability with a Different Quad :: https://www.oneindia.com/partner-content/india-israel-strategic-partnership-ensuring-middle-east-stability-with-a-different-quad-4070555.html?ref=DMDesc
