 GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories, Feb 15, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Hamas said on Saturday that the United States, a mediator in the Gaza truce deal, must ensure that Israel abides by the agreement to secure the release of hostages still held in the Palestinian territory.

"The United States must compel the occupation to adhere to the agreement if it truly cares about the prisoners' (hostages) lives," said Hazem Qassem, a spokesman for Hamas, in a statement issued after Gaza men freed three captives earlier in the day.
