Israel seeks to extend first phase of ceasefire deal with Hamas as final batch of Palestinians released from detention.
Hamas condemns Israel’s decision to postpone release, saying its claim of ‘humiliating’ handover ceremonies was false.
The cease-fire deal does not include stipulations about how prisoners should be released, and some international observers noted that Israel has released Palestinian detainees wearing shirts displaying the Star of David and phrases translated into Arabic that threatened revenge for Hamas attacks on Israel.

These breaches underscore the instability of the truce and the devastating human toll of the conflict.
