Israel: "Hamas Withdraws Part of Agreement... Cabinet Meeting Postponed"
The ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Palestinian armed faction Hamas in the Gaza Strip is facing difficulties.
On the 16th (local time), the Israeli Prime Minister's Office issued a statement accusing Hamas of "breaking parts of the agreement at the last moment to extract concessions, creating a last-minute crisis to block the agreement," according to local daily Times of Israel and others.
It added, "The Israeli cabinet will not convene until the mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement."
The Israeli cabinet was originally scheduled to hold a meeting at 11 a.m. that day to vote on whether to approve the ceasefire plan. In response, Hamas senior official Izat al-Rishq reportedly denied this, stating that Hamas fully accepts the ceasefire agreement announced by the mediators the previous day, according to foreign media.
