Documents obtained by The New York Times suggest that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has added new conditions to the hostage release deal with Hamas, contradicting his public assertions. The report indicates that Israel submitted a list of demands on July 27 that included five harsher additions to the original May 27 proposal, raising concerns about the feasibility of a ceasefire. Netanyahu's office has vehemently denied these claims, stating that the July draft merely clarifies existing terms and that Hamas has made multiple demands for changes. However, the Prime Minister's Office did not address specific new demands, such as Israel maintaining control over the Philadelphi Corridor. As negotiations continue, doubts remain about the willingness of both sides to compromise.
