Hamas accuses Netanyahu of delaying ceasefire negotiations as bodies of Israeli prisoners are returned
dawn.com —
Hamas accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of delaying negotiations for the second phase of a ceasefire in Gaza. This comes after the return of four bodies of Israeli prisoners killed in an air strike. The handover ceremony took place in Khan Yunis, where Hamas claimed the Israeli air strike killed the Bibas family. Israel has not confirmed this claim. A deal was announced for the return of eight hostages' remains and the release of six living captives on Saturday. The ceasefire remains in place despite ongoing accusations of violations from both sides.
