Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has accused Hamas of reneging on parts of the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, creating a last-minute crisis that prevents the completion of the agreement. Netanyahu's office stated that Hamas is backtracking on explicit understandings reached with mediators and Israel in an attempt to extort last-minute concessions. As a result, the Israeli Cabinet will not meet to approve the ceasefire deal until mediators confirm that Hamas has fully agreed to all elements of the agreement.
