According to Reuters and AFP, Hamas accused the mediator of proposing a new proposal that was too biased towards the position of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and once again accused Israel of undermining efforts to reach an agreement as the Gaza ceasefire negotiations are about to resume in Cairo, Egypt this week.

Before the two sides resumed negotiations, Qatar, Egypt and the United States held a meeting in Doha and put forward a new proposal. Hamas issued a statement after receiving the new proposal, saying that the new proposal is consistent with Netanyahu's position. Netanyahu refuses to end the war and withdraw troops from the Gaza Strip, including from the Gaza-Egypt border, which Hamas considers the two conditions as the basis for any agreement with Israel.

Hamas said: "Netanyahu should bear full responsibility for obstructing the efforts of the mediators, delaying the agreement and for the lives of Israeli prisoners, who face the same dangers as our people due to his continued aggression and systematic attacks on all aspects of civilian life in the Gaza Strip," Hamas said, according to the report. "We call on the mediators to assume their responsibilities and force the occupying power to implement the agreed agreement," Hamas said, indicating that Hamas is fully committed to implementing the proposal finalized in July.
