On February 11, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Hamas, stating that Israel would abandon the current ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and resume military operations if the militant group fails to proceed with the next scheduled release of hostages on Saturday.
Hamas has announced plans to delay the release of three additional hostages, accusing Israel of not fulfilling ceasefire terms, including insufficient delivery of tents and other humanitarian aid into Gaza.
In response to these developments, Netanyahu has ordered the Israeli Defense Forces to bolster troop presence in and around the Gaza Strip. He has also directed officials to prepare for all possible scenarios should Hamas not release the hostages as scheduled.
The situation remains tense, with the potential for renewed conflict if the deadlock over hostage releases and aid delivery is not resolved promptly.
