[IsraelNationalNews] Egyptian intelligence quietly changed the terms of a ceasefire proposal that Israel had already signed off on earlier this month, ultimately scuttling a deal that could have released hostages and Palestinian Arab prisoners, and set a pathway to temporarily end the fighting in Gaza, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing three people familiar with the discussions.
Hamas was never going to agree anyway — they’re just marking time until a divine — or American or Iranian — thumb presses down on the scales, forcing Israel to surrender. | The ceasefire agreement that Hamas said on May 6 it had agreed to was not what the Qataris or the Americans believed had been submitted to Hamas for a potential final review, the sources told the network.
The changes made by Egyptian intelligence, the details of which have not been previously reported, led to a wave of anger and recrimination among officials from the US, Qatar and Israel, and left ceasefire talks at an impasse.
They were at an impasse anyway. Egyptian perfidy just gave Hamas a propaganda point for the Jew-haters of the world. |
