“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, adding that the situation had created a “last-minute crisis”.

According to an Israeli television report, Smotrich presented Netanyahu with a list of conditions for his support, including a pledge that Israel would return to fighting should Hamas manage to retain control of Gaza, and to strictly limit the quantity of humanitarian aid allowed into the territory.

Israeli media widely reported this week that the government was prepared to resume hostilities after the end of the first six-week phase of the truce, during which hostages are supposed to be released.

Almost as if genocide was the goal.

    He doesn’t want a ceasefire, and he doesn’t want the hostages released…if he did he wouldn’t have an ultimatum he knows Hamas would never accept.

    Anyone in support of Netanyahu is an idiot if they think he will manage any hostages released.
