Israel delays release of 620 Palestinians until Hamas guarantees further hostage releases

Israel has delayed the release of 620 Palestinian prisoners until it receives assurance that the next hostages will be released without what it calls 'humiliating ceremonies' in Gaza.
The delay came after six Israeli hostages were freed, which was criticized due to armed militants escorting the hostages in front of crowds.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office stated the ceremonies demean the dignity of the hostages and are used for propaganda.
Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire, claiming Netanyahu is 'deliberately stalling' the release of Palestinian detainees.
