The Israeli prime minister's office said earlier in the day that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continued to work to advance a deal on the Gaza Strip that would maximize the number of hostages released, and insisted that the Israel Defense Forces remained in the Gaza-Egypt border corridor.
"It [the proposal] sets new conditions for prisoner exchange and withdrawal from a number of clauses, which hinders the conclusion of a swap deal," the movement said in a statement.
The new demands and conditions are being laid down to "wipe out the UN and mediators’ efforts and prolong the war," Hamas said.
However, the deal on a ceasefire "meets Israel’s conditions," the movement added.
