Israel goes again on Palestinian prisoner launch, cites ‘humiliating’ hostage handovers

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, 23 February, postponed the discharge of 620 Palestinian prisoners till subsequent time, citing “humiliating ceremonies” carried out by Hamas in the course of the handover of Israeli hostages. He has now delay the discharge till the subsequent set of Hamas hostages have been secured.

This resolution follows the discharge of six Israeli hostages by Hamas, who had been to be exchanged for these 620 Palestinian prisoners per the ceasefire deal. Throughout the launch of the Israelis, the hostages had been allegedly paraded in entrance of crowds, actions Israel deems degrading and ‘propagandistic’.

Word that the discharge of the Palestinian prisoners was a part of the continuing ceasefire settlement between Israel and Hamas.

Nevertheless, Netanyahu acknowledged that the releases could be delayed till Hamas ‘ceases these ceremonies’ and supplies assurances concerning the remedy of hostages.

No assurances had been provided on the remedy of Palestinians in IDF custody in return. Or certainly, about Israel’s remedy of Palestine being humiliation-free or absent Zionist propaganda.

This growth raises uncertainties about the way forward for the ceasefire and ongoing negotiations, as it’s unclear how Hamas can show it has ‘ceased these ceremonies’ when it has already launched all of the agreed-upon hostages up to now.

Nevertheless, Netanyahu, in his sweeping assertion, accused Hamas of ‘repeated violations’ — he didn’t state of what settlement or guidelines — and referred to as all of the Palestinians in Israel’s custody ‘terrorists’.
