Israel accuses Hamas of reneging on parts of ceasefire-hostage agreement, delays vote

Source: The Hill

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday accused Hamas of reneging on parts of a ceasefire and hostage release agreement announced the day before.

In a statement, Netanyahu said his Cabinet will not sign off on the deal until Hamas agrees to all parts of the arrangement.

“Hamas has reneged on parts of the agreement reached with the mediators and Israel in an effort to extort last-minute concessions,” Netanyahu said in a statement Thursday. “The Israeli Cabinet will not convene until the mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement.”

It was not immediately clear whether the statement reflected efforts to keep his precarious coalition government together, as at least one far-right member threatened to thwart the deal, or whether the ceasefire was at risk.

killing 80 civilians since the deal was reached wasn't enough to kill the deal so now Bibi has to just come out and reject the deal outright. I don't believe one word he says, he does not care about those hostages, he does not want peace, he wants Gaza in ruins so it can be bulldozed, occupied and re-settled for Israeli Jews only.

His "Hell to pay" comment (that he said in November) was all over the media last night.

the issue is who's on Hamas' list of prisoners to be freed from Israel.

OR

Smotrich and Ben Gvir are both threatening to withdraw from Netanyahu's coalition which would collapse the Govt.
