Hamas accuses Israel of rejecting hostage deal
Hamas accuses Israel of rejecting the ceasefire deal that has been on the table and which has included the release of hostages. Instead of accepting, Israel has reportedly put forward new demands, which has delayed an agreement, Hamas writes in a statement, according to the Jerusalem Post.
At the same time, the terrorist group states that negotiations are continuing.
At home, the Israeli government is being pressured by the relatives of the hostages to accept an agreement with Hamas, writes the Times of Israel. From a square in Tel Aviv, Shir Siegel, whose father is still being held captive, says that Israel's future depends on the decisions made today.
- Any delay, hesitation or postponement of the negotiations could cost lives, she says.
