Netanyahu’s comments on ‘partial agreement’ shows he rejects Biden proposal: Hamas
Hamas has issued a statement describing recent remarks from Benjamin Netanyahu as showing that the Israeli prime minister only wants a “partial agreement after which the war would resume” and not the proposal the Biden administration “tried to market”.
“Our insistence that any agreement include a permanent ceasefire and complete withdrawal was necessary to block Netanyahu’s path,” the Hamas statement added.
Netanyahu made the comments in a televised interview with Israeli media outlet Channel 14 on Sunday, where he also said that Israeli troops would be moved to Israel’s border with southern Lebanon as “the war in its intense phase is about to end in Rafah”.
