Israel criticizes Hamas' "manipulative" behaviour
The Israeli government described the offer as insufficient and manipulative. While Jerusalem had accepted the more far-reaching proposal from US special envoy Steven Witkoff, "Hamas remains on a course of refusal and continues to wage psychological warfare against the hostage families", according to a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office.
Unclear how to proceed
There is disagreement between Israel and Hamas about how to proceed with the ceasefire. Israel wants an extension of the first phase until mid-April and is demanding the "complete demilitarization" of the area, the withdrawal of Hamas and the return of the remaining hostages for the transition to the second phase. Hamas, on the other hand, is demanding immediate negotiations on the second phase.
