Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration says Hamas has reneged on parts of the agreements reached and is creating a “last-minute crisis.” “The Israeli cabinet will not meet until the mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement.” – The Times of Israel quoted the report as saying.
The dispute is over the identities of Palestinian prisoners to be released. Hamas is “demanding to dictate which murderers will be released,” which contradicts the agreements reached, the country’s prime minister’s office explained.
At the same time, Hamas spokesman Izzat al-Rishek said the group “adheres to the ceasefire agreement” in Gaza as outlined by mediators Qatar and the U.S., Al Jazeera reported.
