The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) confirmed, through its spokesperson Abdel Latif Al-Qanoua, on Sunday night that the occupation’s failure to release the seventh batch of prisoners as agreed constitutes a blatant violation of the agreement.  

In a press statement, Al-Qanoua said, "While Hamas has responded positively to the mediators' efforts to ensure the success of the exchange process, war criminal Netanyahu continues to stall and delay the release of the prisoners."  

He added,"We call on the mediators and guarantors of the agreement to exert pressure on the occupation to respect the ceasefire agreement and implement its terms without delay or procrastination."
