Report: Israel has raised new issues that may prolong talks for truce-hostage deal
Israel has made new demands that may prolong the talks for a ceasefire and hostages-for-prisoners deal with Hamas, Haaretz cites an unnamed foreign source as saying.
“Hamas had already given its approval to the latest stance presented by Israel. But in the meeting on Friday, Israel presented new issues,” the source is quoted as saying.
The outlet quotes an unnamed Israeli source familiar with the negotiations as saying Israel has displayed a “tough stance” in the talks.
Several outlets have reported that Israeli sources estimate that the talks are expected to go on for some three weeks.
