Israeli Prime Minister's Office issued a statement on Wednesday saying that Hamas was "lying" in its statement about new conditions set by the Israeli side during the ceasefire negotiations in Doha.
"The terrorist organization Hamas is once again lying, backtracking on understandings already reached, and continuing to create obstacles in the negotiations," the prime minister's office said, noting that Israel will "persist tirelessly in its efforts to bring all our hostages home."
Earlier today, Hamas stated that the negotiations, which were taking place in Doha and which were mediated by Qatar and Egypt, were delayed by Israel's decision to set new conditions and issues regarding ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.
