Doha: Speech by the President of the United States Joe Biden that one ceasefire exist Gaza if Hamas released its hostage Palestinian militant groups said on Sunday it was a “setback” for negotiations. Hamas said in a statement: “We condemn this position of the US president, which we consider to be a setback in the outcome of the latest round of negotiations, which led to the movement agreeing to the recommendations made by the mediators.”
Biden said on Saturday that a ceasefire in Israel’s war with Hamas could be possible “tomorrow” if Hamas hands over hostages it seized in an Oct. 7 attack. Here comes the hostage issue.
Negotiations between Hamas and Israel on a ceasefire and hostage exchange agreement, brokered by Egypt, Qatar and the United States, appear to be stalled by Israel’s military operation in the southern city of Gaza. Hamas said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “eager to overturn” the talks by launching an offensive in Rafah.
