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

Israel has delayed the release of over 600 Palestinian prisoners until further hostages are guaranteed to be released, according to a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office.
The military offensive in Gaza has caused over 48,000 Palestinian deaths, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
Hamas released six Israeli hostages on February 22, 2025, but accused Israel of violating the ceasefire deal, claiming the delay in prisoner release is deliberate.
Discussions about the next phase of the ceasefire are pending, with fears that the conflict may resume, as noted by various sources.
