“The world should know, the Palestinian people should know, that the only thing standing in the way of an immediate ceasefire today is Hamas,” Miller said.

Hamas is blocking a Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said as the death of four captives was announced and Israeli politicians Monday sharply debated the next steps in the war.
He spoke as the IDF announced the death in captivity of four of the remaining 124 hostages seized on October 7; Nadav Popplewell, 51, Amiram Cooper 84, Yoram Metzger, 80, and Chaim Peri, 80.
Right-wing politicians and sectors of the Israeli public have feared that the latest deal asks Israel to abandon its military goal of defeating Hamas, a charge that both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the US have denied.
Since talks for phase two could continue past the six-week timeline, the official explained that according to a clause the War Cabinet added to the proposal, Israel retained the right to resume its military campaign against Hamas, if it gets the impression that “negotiations are futile and serve only to bide time.”
In a brief summary of its meeting, the FADC reported that Netanyahu said that Israel is examining several alternatives to a civilian administration in Gaza that could be put into practice in the near future in the northern part of the enclave.
FADC Chairman MK Yuli Edelstein brought up safety issues in the northern part of the country which has been under Hezbollah fire since October 7, suggesting that funds be reallocated to help secure communities in that region that were not evacuated.
