An Israeli official accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of deliberately blocking a ceasefire agreement with the military wing of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
According to the official, a ceasefire agreement could actually be reached in just a few days.
However, Netanyahu called for a comprehensive review of the deal. This is contrary to the offer from Egypt as a mediator.
According to Anadolu Agency, Netanyahu's office has not yet spoken out about this accusation.
On Friday, an Egyptian envoy arrived in Tel Aviv to discuss a possible ceasefire.
Al Qahera reported that there were significant developments and ceasefire talks.
Meanwhile, Kan said the Egyptian envoy believed that now was the last chance to return the hostages from Gaza.
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said new efforts by Qatar and Egypt were underway to realize a deal between Hamas and Israel.
Sullivan said there was new momentum in the talks regarding a prisoner exchange deal. However, he did not reveal the details.
On the other hand, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich reportedly threatened to resign if Netanyahu accepted Egypt's offer.
Hamas on Saturday admitted that it had received Israel's official response regarding the proposed ceasefire.
