We learned of truce from Hamas, ministers say
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMembers of the security cabinet say they learned of the extension of the truce between Israel and Hamas by an additional five days from Palestinian press statements, not from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israeli news site Walla quotes the ministers as saying Netanyahu informed them of the new five-day truce only about an hour after the Palestinian negotiating team in Cairo announced it in a press conference.
A senior Israeli official tells Walla that a “situation in which senior ministers and millions of citizens are kept updated on the fate of the ceasefire by Hamas briefings is untenable.”
