Under the mediation of the United States, Egypt and Qatar, Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) have been negotiating for months on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of detained persons, but no breakthrough has been made. While the negotiations have reached a deadlock, the Israeli army's offensive in the Gaza Strip has not slowed down. In addition, Hamas leader Haniyeh was assassinated in Iran on July 31. Hamas and Iran have accused Israel of the assassination.
Several sources familiar with the negotiations told Israel's Channel 12 that Netanyahu's current stance means no real progress can be made in the negotiations. The Israeli side is "just going through the motions and wasting time."
In response to the news revealed by the media, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office responded that the false information leaked by anonymous sources misled the public. Netanyahu agreed to the framework of the ceasefire agreement, but Hamas proposed a large number of revisions, which hindered the conclusion of the agreement.The Israeli Prime Minister's Office also reiterated Netanyahu's position, saying he hopes the United States will not interfere in Israel's internal affairs.
