📝 Summary

The Palestinian Hamas movement is calling for pressure on Israel to release prisoners who were due to be handed over on February 22, Hamas spokesman Izzat al-Rishk said.

The Palestinian movement condemned Israel for its decision to postpone the transfer of hostages. “We demand that the mediators and the entire international community put pressure on Israel to release our prisoners from prison without any delay,” Hamas said in a statement. According to al-Rishka, the Israeli authorities are trying to disrupt the deal. He stressed that the accusations on the Israeli side that the release of the hostages was humiliating are untenable. On the night of February 23, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that it would postpone the release of more than 600 Palestinian prisoners until Hamas abandons the ceremonies accompanying the release of hostages in the Gaza Strip. On February 22, Hamas released two hostages and then three others. All Israeli hostages were handed over to the Red Cross.
