Israel Sets Conditions for Continuing Ceasefire in Gaza

Israel will adhere to the ceasefire in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone as long as Hamas remains committed to its obligations to release hostages from Gaza, said Alexander Ben Zvi, Israel's ambassador to Russia.

"Yes, for now the ceasefire will be extended. The situation is very clear: if Hamas keeps its word regarding the release of hostages, then the ceasefire will continue," the ambassador stated during an interview on the Russia 24 television channel.
