Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Thursday his Cabinet won’t meet to approve the Gaza ceasefire deal until Hamas backs down from what it called a “last minute crisis.”

Qatari and Hamas officials say a ceasefire has been reached to pause Israel’s war in Gaza and release dozens of hostages

Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire, with both sides agreeing to release hostages in the upcoming days. Israel leadership says the ceasefire is not a done deal yet, but expects to complete the agreement also in the upcoming days.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Thursday his Cabinet won’t meet to approve the agreement for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of dozens of hostages until Hamas backs down from what it called a “last minute crisis.

Hamas has reneged on parts of the Gaza ceasefire and hostage-release deal that was already agreed upon, and is creating a last-minute crisis that prevents the completion of the accord, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said.
