Israel on Saturday said it will not allow Palestinians to return to northern Gaza until Hamas releases Arbel Yehoud, one of the dozens of hostages held in captivity. Confirming the Israeli stand, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said that Yehoud was supposed to have been released Saturday, as part of the Gaza ceasefire agreement. Notably, Hamas released four female Israeli soldiers, Daniella Gilboa, Liri Albag, Naama Levy, and Karina Ariev, who crossed into Israeli territory with IDF and ISA forces.
