Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu added new conditions in late July to a ceasefire proposal delivered to American, Egyptian, and Qatari mediators, which has hardened Israel’s position and complicated negotiations, according to documents seen by The New York Times.

Israel and the US have repeatedly blamed Hamas for a lack of headway in negotiations. Neither of the two stipulations reported were in the “comprehensive” ceasefire proposal that US President Joe Biden announced Israel had put forward in late May.
