NYT: Mediators 'frustrated' by Hamas's rejection of deal terms it proposed in March [View all]
After Israel made a new, far-reaching offer late last month, Hamas promised to come back with a new offer, which eventually emerged yesterday evening.
The NYT quotes anonymous sources who indicate that in its late-April proposal, Israel “virtually cut and pasted” language from a March Hamas proposal, in order to call the terror group’s bluff.
It worked. Hamas’s rejection of Israel’s offer over the weekend “frustrated the intermediaries because it rejected some of the very language that it had previously proposed.”
The US negotiators publicly decried the Hamas position, and warned that talks would be seen as over if Hamas did not actually want a deal.
