TUNIS, February 12. /TASS/. The Palestinian radical group Islamic Jihad stated that the fate of Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip depends on the actions of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"The fate of the hostages held by the resistance depends on Netanyahu's actions," the organization's armed wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, said on its Telegram channel. Meanwhile, the group emphasized its commitment to the ceasefire agreement "in all its aspects, as long as the enemy remains committed to it."

On February 10, Abu Ubaida, a representative of the military wing of Hamas, announced a delay in the release of the next group of hostages set to come home on February 15. The movement believes that Israel violated the terms of the deal when it "delayed the return of displaced persons from the south of the enclave to the north, opened fire on Gazans and was unable to ensure the delivery of all types of humanitarian aid in the required volumes." Previously, US President Donald Trump demanded that Hamas release all hostages currently held in the Gaza Strip by Saturday noon, or "all hell is going to break out."
