Hussein Fayyad Abu Hamza, a commander in Hamas’ military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, was filmed by NBC News as he walked around Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, greeting civilians. Israel previously claimed he had been killed in fighting after the Hamas attacks of Oct.

Israeli leaders delayed the release of more than hundred Palestinians as agreed over concerns with how the eight Israeli hostages were released.

The fragility of the truce between Israel and Hamas was laid bare on Saturday, after Israel accused Hamas of withholding a hostage, prompting a halt in the movement of Gazan civilians back to their homes in the north.

After the chaotic handover in southern Gaza, Zivan Frieden, a spokesman for Israel’s prisons authority, said in a statement that the release of over 100 Palestinian prisoners had been suspended, without providing further details.

Some of the prisoners Israel is expected to release include 30 Palestinians that were given life sentences for deadly attacks against Israelis.

The talks on where to send the released terrorists are reportedly being conducted in full coordination with Jerusalem.

Israeli troops have pulled back to the edges of Gaza, the first hostages have been released and many Palestinians have returned to what remains of their homes in the first few days of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal.

Aaron David Miller of the Carnegie Endowment discusses whether or not the ceasefire will lead to a lasting peace between Israel and Hamas as well as the role Trump and Biden played in negotiations.

More than 14 months into the Israel-Hamas War, “and we still don’t have a plan for the North,” Mateh Asher Regional Council head Moshe Davidovich said.

The truce is aimed at winding down the deadliest and most destructive war ever fought between Israel and Hamas, whose Oct. 7, 2023, attack into Israel sparked the fighting.

The ceasefire agreement between Israel, Hamas and Hezbollah is in new jeopardy Sunday as various groups slow walk responsibilities under the deal.
