In a dramatic 24-hour diplomatic rollercoaster, senior Hamas official Izzat el-Reshiq declared Thursday that the Palestinian group remains 'committed' to a ceasefire agreement brokered by mediators. This comes as Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu fired back, alleging Hamas is 'backtracking' on key details of the proposed deal. 💥
The tension escalated when Netanyahu's office claimed Thursday morning that Hamas tried to 'extort last-minute concessions' by reneging on parts of the agreement. The Israeli cabinet has now put talks on ice, refusing to convene until mediators confirm Hamas accepts all terms. 🔥
With Middle East peace hanging in the balance, all eyes are on mediator channels to see if this becomes another chapter in the region's conflict history – or a breakthrough moment. Stay tuned as this developing story unfolds. 🌍✌️
