Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a conference call with the Israeli negotiation team in Doha, during which he was briefed on Hamas' last-minute attempts to reverse the agreements reached on May 27.
According to Netanyahu's office, Hamas is now demanding the right to dictate the identity of high-profile prisoners set for release, contrary to a clause granting Israel veto power over individuals considered symbols of terrorism. Netanyahu instructed the team to stand firm on the agreed terms and reject what he called Hamas’ "effort to extort last-minute concessions."
