CAIRO, Egypt — Hamas accuses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday of preventing a ceasefire in Gaza by adding new conditions and demands to a US-backed truce proposal, after the latest talks conducted through mediators.
The group says it has received the latest response from Israel, following talks in Rome involving Israel, the United States, Egypt, and Qatar.
“It is clear from what the mediators conveyed that Netanyahu has returned to his strategy of procrastination, evasion, and avoiding reaching an agreement by setting new conditions and demands,” Hamas says in a statement.
The terror group accuses Netanyahu of retreating from a proposal previously presented by mediators, which it said had already been based on an “Israeli paper.”
