Gaza Ceasefire Remains Precarious as Israel Reneges on Exchange of Captives
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hamas is accusing Netanyahu of "intentionally sabotaging" the Gaza
ceasefire after Israel reneged on its agreement to release 620
imprisoned Palestinians on Saturday after Hamas released six Israeli
hostages. During a ceremony in Gaza, one of the hostages, Omer Shem Tov,
kissed two masked members of Hamas on the forehead. Al Jazeera reports
Hamas says it will not engage in further ceasefire discussions until
Israel releases the prisoners.
