Israeli cabinet delays vote on hostage-ceasefire deal as Hamas reneges on parts
'Hamas has reneged on parts of the agreement reached with the mediators and Israel in an effort to extort last-minute concessions'

Israel’s cabinet will not vote on the ceasefire-hostage deal on Thursday night Australia time due to Hamas allegedly changing its tune on elements of the agreement.
It was announced early on Thursday that a deal had finally been reached that would see 33 hostages released in its first phase.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement on Thursday saying it was not yet a done deal.
“Hamas has reneged on parts of the agreement reached with the mediators and Israel in an effort to extort last-minute concessions,” the statement said.
“The Israeli Cabinet will not convene until the mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement.”
Senior Hamas official Izzat el-Risheq denied the accusations that the terror group has reneged on some details of the hostage-ceasefire deal, and said it is committed to the agreement announced by mediators.
More to come.
