Israel and Hamas are blaming each other for the collapse of an already fragile cease-fire in Gaza after Israel postponed the release of Palestinian prisoners. The Israeli government, led by PM Benjamin Netanyahu, has tied the prisoners' release to the assurance of further hostage releases from Hamas, who is under pressure to conduct the process without humiliating ceremonies. Both parties have engaged in mutual accusations revealing a buildup of tensions as the cease-fire nears its end with little clarity on future negotiations or possible extensions.
The delay in releasing Palestinian prisoners has raised more questions about the cease-fire's future, especially as tensions grow amidst conflicting claims from both sides.
As the temporary cease-fire nears expiration, forces on both sides are exploring their next moves, illustrating the fragility of the truce established after intense conflict.
