Israel's Gantz said Hamas proposal 'inconsistent' with previous talks

Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz said that Hamas’s ceasefire proposal “is inconsistent” with the talks Israel has held indirectly with Hamas via Egyptian and Qatari mediators, adding there are “significant gaps” in the proposal.

Gantz, in a statement, said that Israel faces “a cruel enemy” and that Israel “will never stop the effort to bring back our hostages.”

Gantz’s comments are important because they signal unity within Israel’s war cabinet rejecting Hamas’s ceasefire proposal.

Gantz said Israel“will leave no stone unturned” as an Israeli delegation departs for Cairo to continue talks there.
