Hamas renews its commitment to the ceasefire agreement and confirms that delivering the bodies of the hostages requires time due to the rubble

Hamas confirmed today, Friday, its full commitment to the ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States with Israel, emphasizing that it is working to implement all its provisions, including the delivery of the bodies of deceased Israeli hostages.

The movement's statement came after warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump, who hinted at allowing Israel to resume the war if the commitments are not fulfilled.

Hamas clarified that some bodies are still buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings or inside tunnels destroyed by the Israeli army, and that retrieving them requires heavy equipment that is currently unavailable due to the ban on its entry into the sector.

It pointed out that it has already delivered the bodies it was able to access, while completing the process requires time and additional efforts.

Israel, for its part, accused the movement of violating the agreement that stipulates the return of all hostages, alive and dead, within 72 hours of its commencement.

So far, Hamas has released 20 live hostages in exchange for Israel's release of about two thousand Palestinian prisoners, but it has only delivered 9 bodies out of 28.

In return, Hamas held Benjamin Netanyahu's government responsible for any delay in delivering the remaining bodies, considering that the ban on the entry of necessary equipment is the main reason for the disruption.

Turkey also announced the sending of a team of experts to assist in the search and retrieval operations.

Tensions escalated after statements from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, who threatened to resume the attack on Gaza if Hamas does not adhere to the agreement, confirming that Israel, in coordination with the United States, will work to "completely defeat" the movement if it fails to fulfill its commitments.

The issue has also raised concerns among the families of the hostages in Israel, where the "Forum of Families of Hostages and Missing Persons" called on the government to freeze the next stages of the agreement until the remaining bodies are delivered.

This controversy reflects the fragility of the current truce in Gaza, amid international and regional pressures to ensure its continuation and the implementation of all its provisions, at a time when rubble and destruction still hinder the completion of the body delivery process.
