Hamas threatens to withdraw offer to release 10 hostages if truce talks stall

The Palestinian militant group Hamas has warned that it may revoke its earlier offer to release 10 hostages currently held in Gaza if ceasefire negotiations drag on or collapse due to what it described as Israeli obstruction.

Report informs via TASS that the warning came from Abu Ubaida, spokesperson for Hamas’s military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

“If the enemy’s negotiators persist or derail the current consultations, we may refuse to proceed with partial deals or the release of the 10 hostages,” Abu Ubaida stated.
