Hamas has rejected the deal with Israel that was discussed in Doha
Hamas terrorists issued an official statement rejecting the terms of the latest hostage release and ceasefire agreement. Negotiations on the situation in Gaza were held on August 15-16 in Doha with the participation of Qatar, Egypt, the US and Israel.
Hamas said in a statement that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is "putting forward new conditions and demands" to derail the talks and prolong the war in Gaza.
For his part, Netanyahu told ministers that the chances of reaching an agreement with Hamas were "small". The Israeli prime minister's office specified that he insists that control of the Philadelphi corridor on the Gaza Strip's border with Egypt remain with Israel. Hamas opposes this.
