Israel withdraws its negotiating team from Qatar after Hamas rejects its latest offer of hostage release and truce.
In a statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said that Hamas's decision to reject the compromise offered by the United States is "clear evidence that it is not interested in continuing negotiations and sad evidence of the damage done by the UN Security Council resolution," referring to the call for a ceasefire adopted last night.
Israel also says that Hamas has returned to its demands for a complete cessation of hostilities and a complete withdrawal of the IDF from Gaza.
Israel will not meet Hamas' deceptive demands
Israel's diplomatic representative said that Hamas is demanding that Gazans be given carte blanche to return to the north of the Strip and is not even raising the issue of releasing hostages. He added that the Israeli negotiating team has no business in Qatar.
