Hamas accuses Netanyahu of sabotaging Gaza truce negotiations
Hamas claims the Israeli government is not negotiating the second phase of a Gaza truce deal, which is set to end on March 1. They accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of sabotaging the agreement, despite Hamas's commitment to it. The first phase of the truce has seen some exchanges of captives and limited aid, but Hamas reports over 100 Palestinian deaths and unmet aid commitments. Israeli officials have acknowledged some violations but officially deny them. Hamas has expressed willingness to step back from governing Gaza, supporting a unity government. Meanwhile, Netanyahu's government shows reluctance to proceed with the next phase, which includes a potential reduction of Israeli forces in Gaza.
