This announcement came just 24 hours after Israeli forces withdrew from the Netzarim axis and followed weeks of Israeli violations of the truce, including the bombing of displaced civilians and preventing their return to northern Gaza\u2014despite the agreement brokered by Doha, Cairo, and Washington.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12165\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12165\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12165 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/hamas.jpg\" alt=\"Al-Qassam halts prisoner release over Israeli truce violations, fueling political turmoil in Tel Aviv.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/hamas.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/hamas-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/hamas-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12165\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israel-Hamas tensions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1151\">Israeli Shock and Public Outrage<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1153\" data-end=\"1689\">From the very first moment, Israel\u2019s shock was evident. Anger escalated within the Israeli parliament, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s office rushed to deny any breaches of the agreement, accusing the resistance of undermining the truce. However, public outrage was even stronger, as the families of the detainees expressed their disappointment over the government\u2019s failure to ensure the implementation of the agreement. Meanwhile, pressure mounted on Netanyahu from the far-right to resume military operations in Gaza.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"1754\">Defense Minister Threatens Escalation, Army on High Alert<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1756\" data-end=\"2247\">Israel\u2019s response was swift. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant threatened that the army is ready to resume fighting at any moment if the agreement collapses, describing the resistance\u2019s announcement as a &#8220;complete violation&#8221; of the ceasefire and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2023\/11\/21\/israel-accepts-hamas-conditions-for-prisoner-exchange-deal\/\">prisoner<\/a> exchange deal. In an escalatory move, he ordered an increase in military readiness, while the Israeli army\u2019s southern command decided to cancel soldiers&#8217; leave and reposition forces in preparation for potential field developments.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12626\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12626\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12626 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/032.jpg\" alt=\"Removing Hamas Leaders and Disarming the Group\u2026 Netanyahu\u2019s Demands for the Second Phase of the Agreement\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/032.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/032-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/032-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12626\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israel Hamas prisoner exchange<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"2249\" data-end=\"2283\">Will the War Return to Gaza?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2285\" data-end=\"2748\" data-is-last-node=\"\">The situation on the ground suggests that the coming days could witness serious escalation, especially as the occupation remains intransigent and refuses to meet its obligations under the agreement. Will Tel Aviv\u2019s threats merely serve as pressure tactics against the resistance, or is Israel truly moving toward resuming its aggression on Gaza? The coming days will be decisive in determining the fate of the truce, which now stands on the brink of collapse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-2 flex gap-3 empty:hidden -ml-2\">\n<div class=\"items-center justify-start rounded-xl p-1 flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"md:pt-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent w-full isolate has-[[data-has-thread-error]]:[box-shadow:var(--sharp-edge-bottom-shadow)] has-[[data-has-thread-error]]:pt-2\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"m-auto text-base px-3 md:px-4 w-full md:px-5 lg:px-4 xl:px-5\">\n<div class=\"mx-auto flex flex-1 gap-4 text-base md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 md:max-w-3xl lg:max-w-[40rem] xl:max-w-[48rem]\">\n<form class=\"w-full\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"radix-:r4t:\" data-state=\"closed\">\n<div class=\"relative z-[1] flex h-full max-w-full flex-1 flex-col\">\n<div class=\"group relative z-[1] flex w-full items-center\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<div id=\"composer-background\" class=\"flex w-full cursor-text flex-col rounded-3xl border border-token-border-light px-3 py-1 transition-colors contain-inline-size dark:border-none dark:shadow-none shadow-[0_9px_9px_0px_rgba(0,0,0,0.01),_0_2px_5px_0px_rgba(0,0,0,0.06)] has-[:focus]:shadow-[0_2px_12px_0px_rgba(0,0,0,0.04),_0_9px_9px_0px_rgba(0,0,0,0.01),_0_2px_5px_0px_rgba(0,0,0,0.06)] bg-token-main-surface-primary dark:bg-[#303030]\">\n<div class=\"flex min-h-[44px] items-start pl-1\">\n<div class=\"min-w-0 max-w-full flex-1\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"_prosemirror-parent_cy42l_1 text-token-text-primary max-h-[25dvh] max-h-52 overflow-auto default-browser\">\n<div id=\"prompt-textarea\" class=\"ProseMirror\" contenteditable=\"true\" translate=\"no\" data-virtualkeyboard=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watan-Abu Ubaida, the spokesperson for Al-Qassam Brigades, announced that the resistance has decided to delay the release of the Israeli detainees until the occupation complies with the terms of the agreement.
