Senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya declared negotiations with Israel "meaningless" despite nearing an agreement, blaming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the deadlock. "Netanyahu does not want a deal," al-Hayya stated, emphasizing that Hamas would not surrender, according to ABC News.

Egypt warned that Israel's recent assassinations of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah military leader Fuad Shukr in Beirut jeopardize truce talks. These actions, described by Egypt as a "dangerous escalation," could further inflame regional conflict. Egypt's foreign ministry criticized these killings as undermining efforts to halt the war in Gaza, reported ABC News.
