Hamas has threatened to postpone the next hostage release scheduled to take place in Gaza on Saturday “until further notice,” accusing Israel of breaking the ceasefire deal.

Hamas says it will delay the further release of hostages in the Gaza Strip after accusing Israel of violating a fragile ceasefire that now faces its most serious crisis since it began three weeks ago.

The release of Israeli hostages, and Palestinian prisoners in return, was part of the Gaza ceasefire deal agreed last month.
