Tensions have escalated sharply between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli team negotiating both the release of hostages in Gaza and a ceasefire with Hamas in recent days.
A senior negotiator informed Haaretz, "Netanyahu is deliberately pushing the negotiations into a crisis, believing he can secure better terms. He has implied this in recent discussions, which poses a significant and reckless risk to the hostages' lives."
Netanyahu has been adding incresingly new demands to the negotations which could effectively kill any ceasefire, warned the negotiators.
