Hamas accuses Netanyahu of sabotaging Gaza ceasefire

Hamas has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of attempting to obstruct an agreement on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian group claims that Netanyahu is using negotiations to extend the attacks against their people.

Talks on a ceasefire and the release of hostages have so far been unsuccessful. The control of the Philadelphi Corridor is one of the main points of contention in the negotiations.

The mood in Israel has become heated after the discovery of six killed Hamas hostages in Gaza. Israel's withdrawal from the corridor is seen as crucial to reaching an agreement.

The Hamas attack on October 7 resulted in the deaths of 1,205 people and the kidnapping of 251 hostages. There are still 97 hostages in the hands of Hamas, with 33 confirmed dead.

Israel has responded to the attack with airstrikes and a ground offensive. Mediators from the US, Qatar, and Egypt are working to bridge the gaps between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire plan.

However, Netanyahu remains steadfast in his demand for Israeli military control over the Philadelphi Corridor.
