Israel retains the “right” to resume fighting if negotiations with Hamas over the implementation of a ceasefire – expected to take effect today – do not progress, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said.<\/p>\n

Speaking hours before a long-sought Gaza ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas was expected to take effect, Mr Netanyahu warned: “If we must return to fighting, we will do that in new, forceful ways.”<\/p>\n

US President Joe Biden<\/a><\/strong> and president-elect Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong>, who takes over from his Democratic rival after his inauguration on Monday, gave “full backing to Israel’s right to return to combat if Israel concludes that negotiations on Phase B are futile”, the Israeli PM said.<\/p>\n

The remainder are to be released in a second phase that will be negotiated during the first.<\/p>\n

Between 990 and 1,650 Palestinian prisoners and detainees will be released in exchange, depending on the number of hostages freed.<\/p>\n

Mr Netanyahu, who has faced resignation threats by the far-right members of his government over the terms of the ceasefire agreement, said yesterday the deal wouldn’t go ahead if Hamas failed to release a list of the 33 hostages due to be released.<\/p>\n

His office said in a statement: “We will not move forward with the outline until we receive the list of hostages to be released, as agreed.<\/p>\n

“Israel will not tolerate violations of the agreement. The sole responsibility lies with Hamas.”<\/p>\n

Israel launched a powerful military campaign on the densely populated enclave following Hamas’s unprecedented attack on 7 October 2023 which saw militants paragliding into southern Israel and killing 1,200 people.<\/p>\n

About 250 people were taken hostage during the attack, with nearly 100 still in captivity.<\/p>\n

The 15-month war in Gaza has killed more than 46,000 Palestinians, according to local health officials, who also claim women and children make up more than half of the deaths.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
