‘Will only lead to more suffering for hostages’: Hamas warns Israel ahead of phase-2 truce talks

Firstpost  

Talks on the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire, which would see the return of dozens of remaining hostages in exchange for more prisoners and a lasting ceasefire, have not begun yet A Palestinian Hamas fighter precedes International Red Cross vehicles as they arrive in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip to receive three Israeli hostages as part of the seventh hostage-prisoner swap on February 22, 2025. The Palestinian terror group released the bodies of four slain hostages in exchange for 600 prisoners, the last such swap under the first phase of the truce agreement. Talks on the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire, which would see the return of dozens of remaining hostages in exchange for more prisoners and a lasting ceasefire, have not begun yet. While negotiations on the second phase of the deal have not been initiated yet, a report by the Washington Post says that a deadlock seems to be in persuading Hamas to lay down its arms and leave Gaza, fulfilling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war goal of dismantling the terrorist group.
