Official says Israel accepted Qatari proposal for ceasefire, Hamas rejected it

Israel accepted a Qatari proposal for a 60-day ceasefire-hostage release deal, but Hamas rejected it, an Israeli official tells Hebrew media.

According to the official, Israel and Hamas would discuss an end to the war, in line with Israel’s goals for its operation, as part of the proposed deal.

The official says that Israel has shown flexibility in talks, held in Doha, accusing Hamas of taking positions that have prevented the negotiations from advancing.

release the hostages, and give up those responsible for the October 7 massacre.

Yahya Sinwar, sees Palestinian civilian deaths as "leverage".

All this could have ended a year and a half ago, but the dirty little secret is that Hamas didn't want it to.

The lack of criticism against Hamas is disgusting.

I'm not sure that Yahya Sinwar's perspective is relevant any more. It is completely unclear to me who is representing Hamas in the negotiations at this point.
