A Hamas spokesperson accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of “laxity” on the conversation for the second phase of a delicate ceasefire in Gaza.

After the militant group fought between Israel and Hamas for more than 15 months after October 7, 2023, a terrorist attack on Israel came into effect on 19 January.
Since then, 19 Israeli hostages have been released in exchange for more than 1,100 Palestinian prisoners. On Thursday, the remains of four hostages returned to Israel. At the end of this week, six more living captiffs are to be released.
On Tuesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Gidon Saiy said that Wilde started in the second phase of the ceasefire this week, which aims to make a more permanent end for the war.
Taher Al-Nunu, the official officer of Senior Hamas, told AFP on Wednesday that Hamas was ready to free all the remaining hostage heroes in Gaza in the same swap during Charan 2.
Hamas and his colleagues killed around 1.200 people in their October 2023 attacks and took around 250 more captives. Prior to Thursday’s handover, there were 70 hostages in Gaza, of which 35 Israeli army says that they have died.
According to data from the Ministry of Health in the Hamas-Interacted sector, Israel’s retaliation killed more than 48,000 people in Gaza, most of them, who consider the United Nations reliable.
