The Palestinian Hamas movement claims that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is condemning hostages in the Gaza Strip to an "unknown fate" by ending a cease-fire agreement. This was reported on Tuesday, March 18, by the Israeli newspaper The Times of Israel.

In addition, according to the newspaper, Hamas calls on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to hold an urgent meeting to adopt a resolution on the cessation of hostilities by the Israeli side.
