  • A Hamas official has said Israeli captives can only be brought home from Gaza if Israel respects a fragile ceasefire, dismissing the “language of threats” after US President Donald Trump said the deal should be cancelled if all the captives are not released by Saturday.
  • His statement came after Hamas suspended the next release of captives held in Gaza indefinitely, accusing Israel of violating the terms of the ceasefire deal, including by continuing to kill Palestinians and obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid.
