Israeli official says Hamas keeps ‘walking away’ from talks
Hamas keeps “walking away” from a deal that would secure a Gaza ceasefire and the release of hostages, the Prime Minister’s Office says, as negotiations once again appear to be at a standstill.
“There is a very reasonable offer on the table and Hamas keeps walking away,” spokesman David Mencer tells reporters, adding that international pressure on Israel is only “helping Hamas.”
