Why did Israel suspend the release of Palestinian prisoners? | Israeli-Palestine conflict


The ceasefire of Gaza in danger after Israel suspended the release of Palestinian prisoners.

Israel postponed the release of 620 Palestinian prisoners despite Hamas, which released six Israeli captives on Saturday.

The group says that the far right government of Israel “plays dirty and sabotal games” the agreement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu qualified captive transfer ceremonies in Gaza, “humiliating” and accuses Hamas of using the captives for “propaganda”.

But help groups question Israel’s unregistered promises in the first phase.

It has not yet allowed the delivery of 60,000 mobile houses and 200,000 tents, desperately necessary by millions of displaced Palestinians.

And Israeli negotiators have not joined discussions for the second phase of the agreement.

So what’s going on behind Netanyahu’s dramatic turnaround?

And how will it affect the hard-fire ceasefire agreement?
