Israel has backed down from its commitment to withdraw from the Salah al-Din (Philadelphi) axis at the end of the first phase of the prisoner exchange deal, and has also decided to suspend the release of female and child prisoners, Israeli media reported Thursday.

A senior Israeli official said that Israel will not implement the final stage of the agreement, and will not withdraw from the Philadelphi corridor as it pledged.

Israeli media quoted the Israeli official as saying: "We will not abandon the Philadelphia Road."

"We will not allow Hamas killers to roam our borders again with their small cars and rifles, and we will not allow them to regain their strength again through smuggling," he said.

In this context, Israeli Security Minister Yisrael Katz said that the Philadelphi Corridor will remain a buffer zone, just as is the case in Lebanon and Syria.

The Israeli statements about not withdrawing from the Philadelphi Corridor, at the end of the first phase of the deal, come in order to outline the features of the second phase, whose negotiations will begin in the coming days.

In the context of Israel's violations of the ceasefire agreement, Israel suspended the release of 46 female and child prisoners who were supposed to be released as part of the seventh batch in the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

Israel refused to release the 46 prisoners until the identities of the bodies of the four Israeli prisoners handed over by Hamas were confirmed.

Israel released hundreds of Palestinian prisoners at dawn on Thursday, distributed between the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem, in exchange for the Qassam Brigades handing over the bodies of 4 kidnapped Israelis to the Red Cross.

The coffins of the four bodies arrived at the Forensic Medicine Institute in Abu Kabir, south of Tel Aviv, to confirm their identities.

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office said that the bodies are now in Israel and that initial tests were conducted at the crossing, pending completion at the Forensic Medicine Institute in Tel Aviv, to diagnose and examine the causes of death.

For its part, Hamas renewed its full commitment to the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip with all its details and provisions, stressing its readiness to enter into negotiations related to the second phase of the agreement.

The movement stressed that "the only way to release the occupation prisoners in the Gaza Strip is to negotiate and adhere to what was agreed upon only."

Hamas warned that "any attempts by Netanyahu and his government to backtrack on the agreement and obstruct it will only lead to more suffering for the prisoners and their families."

She called on the mediators to continue to pressure the occupation to abide by what was agreed upon.

Calling on the countries of the world to stop the "double standards" in the discourse related to the occupation prisoners without mentioning the Palestinian prisoners and the abuse they are subjected to.
