Israel will delay seventh Hostage prisoner exchange In protest of Hamas’s “humiliating” treatment, according to Israeli officials.
The launch of 620 Palestinian prisoners, which was scheduled for Saturday, has been postponed by the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On Sunday morning, the Netanyahu office issued a statement by condemning the propaganda of Hamas generated during the exchange.
“In the light of repeated Hamas violations, including the ceremonies that humiliate our hostages and the cynical exploitation of our hostages for propaganda purposes, it has been decided to delay the release of terrorists that was planned for yesterday until the launch of the Nearly insured hostages, and without humiliating ceremonies, “said the office statement.
The statement occurred after the reports of the Hamas combatants who exploit Israeli prisoners while being released. On Saturday, five of the six hostages released were accompanied by armed militants in front of a crowd, including three Israeli hostages who posed with the terrorists.

Omer Wenkert, Omer Shem Tov and Eliya Cohen were among the hostages forced to pose with the terrorists. Shem Tov was also forced to look cheerful, kiss two militants on the head and fly kisses to the crowd.
The three also had false army uniforms, although they did not live when they were captured by Hamas.
In another recent ceremony orchestrated by Hamas, four coffins were placed in front of a cartoon of Netanyahu with a banner that said: “The Netanyahu war criminal and his Nazi army killed them with Zionist combat aircraft missiles.”

The United Nations also condemned the coffin incident.
