Netanyahu accuses Hamas of backtracking on ceasefire arrangements

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of backtracking its commitment to a ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

On Thursday, he stated that Hamas failed to uphold certain aspects of the deal, which has delayed its approval by the Israeli Occupation government.

In a statement, Netanyahu accused Hamas of "reneging on parts of the agreement reached with the mediators and Israel in an effort to extort last-minute concessions."

He emphasized that the Israeli Occupation cabinet will remain in session until mediators confirm that Hamas has agreed to all components of the ceasefire proposal.
