Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of “reneging” on parts of the deal, under which Israel would withdraw from some areas of Gaza and obtain the return of hostages.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office alleged that Hamas had backed out on parts of a Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal agreed Wednesday, potentially delaying a truce between the two sides that was set to go into effect on Sunday—a day before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

His office is accusing Hamas of last-minute attempts to go against a clause that grants Israel a veto over the release of "mass murderers who are symbols of terror"
