Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently introduced a set of new demands that effectively derailed a draft hostage and ceasefire deal in July, as reported by Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. The document obtained by the newspaper sheds light on accusations that Netanyahu deliberately prolonged the conflict for political gain, a claim echoed by hostage families.
The report revealed that three of the six hostages found dead in Gaza over the weekend were slated for release under the May draft agreement. The Prime Minister's Office confirmed the existence of the document but denied adding new conditions to the proposal.
