The Hamas Resistance movement announced that the captive exchange set for
February 15 has been postponed until further notice, due to the ongoing
Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement

.

The spokesperson for the Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida,
announced in a statement that the Hamas leadership has been monitoring
"Israel's" violations of the ceasefire agreement over the past three weeks.
These include prohibiting the return of Palestinians to the northern
district, targeting them across the Strip, and disallowing relief aid
entries as per the agreed-upon conditions

.

Hamas, on the other hand, has fully adhered to the requirements of the
agreement. As a result, the date of the handover of Israeli captives,
initially scheduled for February 15, has been postponed indefinitely, until
the Israeli occupation complies and compensates for the past weeks'
entitlements.

Abu Obeida affirmed that the Palestinian Resistance will remain fully
committed to the ceasefire's terms.
Hamas says 'Israel' plotting to derail Gaza ceasefire deal

Earlier today, a senior Palestinian official told *Al Mayadeen* that the
Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas believes "Israel" is actively
working to derail
the ceasefire agreement
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hamas-sees--israel--plotting-to-derail-ceasefire--official>
.

The official stated that Israeli statements regarding the second phase of
the deal signal an unwillingness to commit to a lasting ceasefire.

Moreover, Hamas, as per the official, sees "Israel" as relying heavily on
US President Donald Trump's reckless decisions to justify its policies and
actions in the next phase.

Hamas says that if "Israel" does not adhere to the second phase of the
agreement, it will pay a heavy price, the Palestinian official underscored.
