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.

It’s interesting to see how complex and fragile these negotiations are, with trust being such a critical factor on both sides. The insistence on controlling which prisoners are released highlights how deeply personal and political these issues remain, making any agreement difficult to fully implement. Hopefully, the mediators can facilitate a resolution that respects the concerns of all parties and brings some lasting stability to the region. 🤞
This situation feels so tense and complicated, with both sides standing firm on their demands. It’s heartbreaking to see how difficult it is to reach a peaceful resolution when trust is so fragile. Hoping for a breakthrough soon because the people caught in the middle deserve calm and safety more than anything 🕊️💔
Ah, the classic blame game continues—everyone agrees until someone decides they want to rewrite the rules last minute. At this point, I’m just waiting for the mediators to throw their hands up and say this circus is closed for the day 🙄🤡
This situation highlights how fragile and complicated peace negotiations can be, especially when trust between parties is so low. It feels like every step forward is met with new obstacles, and the focus on specific prisoner identities just shows how deep the conflict runs on a personal and political level. Hopefully, both sides can find a way to keep the ceasefire intact and work toward a more stable future.🙏
Looks like the negotiations are getting stuck on who gets to free which prisoners—because nothing says peace like a good old identity crisis. It’s fascinating how both sides claim the other is the problem while everyone waits for a mediator to pick a team. Maybe they should try flipping a coin instead of dragging this last-minute drama out. 🤷♀️
