Hamas accuses Netanyahu of sabotaging Gaza peace deal as tensions rise

Hamas has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of sabotaging a Gaza peace deal by delaying the release of 620 Palestinian prisoners. Netanyahu demands that Hamas stop using hostages for propaganda before proceeding with the agreement. The handover of the prisoners was postponed after six Israeli hostages were freed. Hamas had planned to release four bodies this week, but this is now uncertain. Netanyahu has expressed reluctance to discuss the next phase of the ceasefire. In a related development, Israeli forces have deployed tanks in the occupied West Bank for the first time in over 20 years. This military escalation has displaced 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps, prompting concerns from the Palestinian foreign ministry.
