Israel delayed the release of 110 Palestinian prisoners set for Thursday in protest over chaotic scenes during an earlier handover of hostages in Gaza to the Red Cross.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government said it ordered the delay “in the release of the terrorists” until “the safe exit of our hostages is guaranteed in the next round of swaps.”

It’s unclear if the delay will scupper the six-week ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, designated a terrorist organization by the US and many other countries.

The prisoners were meant to be freed after the return of three Israeli and five Thai hostages from Gaza.

Two Israeli hostages — Arbel Yehud amd Gadi Moses — and those from Thailand were handed over to the Red Cross by Hamas in the town of Khan Younis.

During the exchange, many people gathered around the hostages in way Israel said was a threat to their safety.

The scenes were “horrifying,” Israel’s President Isaac Herzog said.

Agam Berger, the other Israeli hostage, was released in Jebaliya in the north of Gaza without incident.

All eight hostages are now in Israel.
