Mediators: Hamas Is Ready For A Deal; Israel: No Evidence Of This
Sources speaking to Saudi media claim that Hamas and other terrorist factions are open to negotiating a deal, while Israeli sources note no evidence that Hamas has become more flexible at all in its conditions.
Palestinian sources speaking to the Saudi paper a-Sharq al-Awsat claimed today (Sunday) that Hamas and other terrorist factions are interested in restarting negotiations with Israel and the United States and even claimed that most of the conditions for such a deal are already agreed upon, according to Kann News.
Israeli sources speaking to Israel Hayom expressed great skepticism at this, noting that there is no evidence Hamas has become any more flexible and has indeed hardened its positions due to the increased international pressure over aid to the Gaza Strip.
President Trump also ruled out the possibility of a deal, saying that Hamas does not want to give up its hostages, and he even implied that Israel needs to take over the entire Gaza Strip, as the Disengagement - which Prime Minister Netanyahu supported in 2005 - was a mistake.
