An Israeli opposition leader accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of violating the Gaza ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement after delaying the release of Palestinian detainees, Anadolu reports.

“Netanyahu ordered the delay in the release of the prisoners, blatantly violating the agreement and sabotaging the first phase, just as we warned,” Yair Golan, leader of the Israeli Democratic Party, said on X. “There are no actual negotiations for the second phase, only deceit and abandonment of the lives of the captives,” he said.

Golan, a vocal critic of Netanyahu’s government, vowed that the Israeli opposition will not allow the prime minister to remain in office “at the expense of our brothers and sisters”.

“I say to you, Bibi, if you sabotage the deal, all hell will break loose,” he stated.
