Israel delays Palestinian prisoner release after six hostages freed from Gaza

Israeli authorities have delayed the release of Palestinian prisoners, which was supposed to occur in exchange for six hostages freed from Gaza. Hamas has accused Israel of violating the truce agreement due to this delay. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to hold a security consultation regarding the situation. The release of 620 Palestinian inmates was expected, but it has stalled, causing frustration among families waiting for their loved ones. Earlier, six hostages were released, marking the end of the first phase of the truce. Negotiations for a second phase have not yet begun, and 62 hostages remain in Gaza.
