Hamas says Israel is violating ceasefire by blocking Palestinians' return to northern Gaza
Hamas has accused Israel of violating the fragile Gaza ceasefire agreement by preventing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian people from returning to their homes in the northern part of the strip.
“The occupation is stalling under the pretext of prisoner Arbel Yehoud, despite the movement informing mediators that she is alive and providing all the necessary guarantees for her release,” the Palestinian militant group said in a statement. “Hamas holds Israel responsible for the delay in implementing the agreement,” it added.
Hamas freed four female Israeli soldiers on Saturday, and Israel released about 200 Palestinian prisoners.
But Israel said another hostage, the female civilian Arbel Yehoud, was supposed to have been released ahead of the soldiers, and that it would not open the Netzarim corridor – that bisects the northern and southern halves of the strip - until she was freed. It also accused Hamas of failing to provide details on the conditions of hostages set to be freed in the coming weeks. Many Palestinians are waiting for instruction from the Israeli military on Salah al-Din street, south of the Netzarim Corridor, and on the al-Rashid road, west of the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza.

Never ever trust the Shai-Lok govt, more so that Trump has now called for the transfer of Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt.
Hamas failed to keep to its part of the agreement, at least a portion of it.
