Hamas delays second hostage release, claiming Israel violated agreement

Palestinian militant group Hamas announced it is delaying the release of the second group of hostages Saturday.

“The Al-Qassam Brigades decide to delay the release of the second batch of prisoners until the occupation adheres to the terms of the agreement related to the entry of relief trucks into the northern Gaza Strip, and due to failure to adhere to the agreed-upon standards for releasing prisoners,” a translated post by the military wing of Hamas on Telegram read.

1:26 they sneak attacked civilians and slaughtered them and they talk about not gettin humanitarian aid vehicles…

No excuse for holding innocent civilians, especially children. Regardless of what may or may not have happened.

Why wasn't Raya Rotem released? The parents and children are supposed to be released together. They released Hila Rotem but not her mother?

One of the terms of the hostage release agreement was that Israel asked the children to be released with their mothers. Hamas tried to separate them on the 2nd hostage release. Israel said no, so Hamas demanded to send more trucks with aid (aka free stuff) if Israel wanted to have children and mothers hostages to be released together. So, it looks like Hamas was the one who tried to violate the deal in the first place.

That Hamas would hole a 4 yr old girl should tell you ALL exactly who these terrorist are. What if that 4 yr old girl was from your family? Would you be marching down the street in support of them. Parents, if you child is marching and you don’t drag them out of those marches by the ear. You are responsible
