Hamas set to delay latest hostage release
Radio National Breakfast — Separate stories podcast - Un pódcast de ABC listen - Martes
The delicate ceasefire agreement between Israel and the militant group Hamas is facing a major test this morning after Hamas announced it would delay the next planned release of hostages from Gaza. Hamas made the statement overnight, accusing Israel of breaching the deal by preventing the return of displaced people to the north of Gaza and limiting aid. But Israel says it's Hamas breaking the agreement, with Defence Minister Israel Katz warning he's moved the Israeli Defence Force to the highest level of alert.
