Despite reports that ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas had been progressing well, On Tuesday, the terrorist organisation said the terms of the deal don’t meet Palestinian demands. As Israel withdrew most of its troops from southern Gaza, it looked as though the stalemate could be ended.

But Hamas quashed any chances of a ceasefire after Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu declared a date had been set for an offensive on Rafah – where about 1.5 million Palestinians are sheltering. A date has not been revealed.

Israel “remains stubborn and has not responded to any of the demands of our people and our resistance,” the group said after receiving the proposal through Egyptian, Qatari and American mediators, according to CNN. However, Hamas added that it is “keen to reach an agreement that puts an end to the aggression against our people”.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said that abandoning a ground offensive in Rafah may lose Netanyahu the support of the coalition that has kept him in power. The US has not been briefed on the timings of Rafah’s invasion, according to US Department of State spokesperson Matthew Miller.

Clarifying the US’ stance on a ground offensive, Miller added that the attack reiterated that the US believes a ground offensive “would have an enormously harmful effect on … civilians, and that it would ultimately hurt Israel's security”.
