On Monday, February 10, the BBC reported that Hamas, the Palestinian resistance group, has indefinitely suspended the hostage exchange, citing violations by Israel. According to Hamas spokesperson Abu Ubaida, Israel has failed to meet the terms of the agreement over the past three weeks. The violations include delaying the return of displaced civilians to northern Gaza, launching artillery and gunfire attacks on civilians, and failing to facilitate humanitarian aid into Gaza as agreed. Hamas stated that the exchange will not proceed until Israel fulfills its obligations.
