Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that Israel is ready to resume its war against Hamas. Meanwhile, Hamas has accused Israel of jeopardizing the five-week-long ceasefire by suspending the prisoner exchange process. The first phase of the ceasefire, which began on January 19, was set to expire in early March, but no final decision has been made regarding the next phase. On Saturday, Israel halted the release of 600 Palestinian prisoners under the initial prisoner swap agreement. “We have eliminated most of Hamas’ organized forces, and there is no doubt that we will fully achieve our war objectives—whether through negotiations or other means,” Netanyahu declared.
