Hamas said on Monday that the next Gaza hostage-prisoner exchange may still take place as scheduled under the ceasefire deal with Israel, after the Hamas armed wing had announced an indefinite postponement.
"Hamas has intentionally made this announcement five days before the scheduled prisoner handover, allowing mediators ample time to pressure the (Israeli) occupation towards fulfilling its obligations. The door remains open for the prisoner exchange batch to proceed as planned, once the occupation complies”, a statement by Hamas reads.
