| [IsraelTimes] Hamas will hold off on negotiations with Israel through mediators unless Israel frees the 602 Palestinian prisoners slated for release in exchange for the six Israeli hostages handed over yesterday, says Hamas official Mahmoud Mardawi. In a statement on Telegram, the official calls on mediators to pressure Israel into implementing the ceasefire agreement’s provisions. Early this morning, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would not release the prisoners until Hamas provided guarantees that it would end the “demeaning” ceremonies it has held to mark the transfer of Israeli hostages. Israel says it foils attempt to smuggle smartphones, projectors into Gaza inside aid truck [IsraelTimes] Israeli authorities say they foiled an attempt to smuggle prohibited items into the Gaza Strip in a humanitarian aid truck. According to the Defense Ministry and Israel Police, a truck carrying aid that was passing through the Erez Crossing into northern Gaza was found to also be ferrying 650 smartphones, dozens of sim cards, three projectors, and car replacement parts. The driver, an Israeli civilian, was arrested. |

| #1 As HAMAS runs out of living hostages, it will increase its delaying tactics. BTW: Once again Hamas, by it own demands, clearly shows that a single Jewish person is worth 100 x's more than any Islamic or a Palestinian. |
