Hamas warns Gaza truce at risk due to Israel's delay in prisoner release

Hamas has warned that a five-week truce in Gaza is at risk due to Israel's delay in releasing Palestinian prisoners. The first phase of the truce ends in early March, with no agreement on the next steps. Israel announced an expansion of military operations in the West Bank, citing Hamas' actions during the hostage release ceremonies as violations. The military has begun operations in Jenin, leading to significant displacement of Palestinians. Hamas recently released six Israeli hostages, completing the first phase of the truce. However, Israel postponed the release of over 600 Palestinian prisoners, raising tensions between the two sides.
