Hamas leader: Israel rejected Egyptian offer, we’re back to square one
Hamas deputy political chief Moussa Abu Marzouk reports on his Facebook page that Israel rejected the Egyptian paper by introducing amendments to it, returning negotiation “to square one.”
Abu Marzouk says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is prisoner to domestic contradictions. He waged a ground and air offensive and lost them both.
He warns that if an agreement isn’t reached within 24 hours, “the truce may not be extended for the third time.”
