Truce negotiations between Israel and Hamas ‘have been stopped’: Report

Israel’s Kan News reported that sources said that the negotiations on a ceasefire and captive-prisoner swap between Hamas and Israel “have been stopped”.

The main sticking point was the cessation of the war in exchange for the release of captives, it said.

“The sources said the gaps between the parties are very large with an emphasis on the definition of the term ‘end of the war’, and the Israeli demand for a veto on the names of ‘terrorists’ that Hamas wants released,” said the news report.
