PM’s office: Hamas seeking to dictate which Palestinian prisoners will be freed but Israel has veto

As negotiators in Doha iron out the final details of the hostage-ceasefire deal, the Prime Minister’s Office releases a statement shortly before 3:30 a.m. declaring that Israel has a veto over the release of “mass murderers who are symbols of terror.”

The statement says Hamas “is demanding to dictate the identity of these murderers” and accuses the terror group of seeking “to go back on the understandings” in the agreement.
