Hamas Delays Second Hostage Release Until Israel Lets Aid Into Northern Gaza

-The armed wing of the Palestinian militant group Hamas said on Saturday that it had decided to delay the second round of hostage releases until Israel is committed to letting aid trucks enter northern Gaza.

In response, an Israeli military spokesperson told French television channel BFM that Israel fully respected the truce.
