New US proposal serves Netanyahu's agenda: Source to Al Mayadeen
A source within the Palestinian Resistance confirms that the new proposal, brokered by the US, does not include Hamas' non-negotiables and only serves "Israel's" agenda.
A source within the Palestinian Resistance told Al Mayadeen that a new American proposal will be presented to mediators in the upcoming days, under the title of "Bridging the Gaps".
According to the source, the proposal "succumbs to the deception practiced by the head of the occupation government, Benjamin Netanyahu, represents a surrender to his will, and aims to obstruct the establishment of an agreement at any cost."
It was further revealed that the proposal does not include a permanent ceasefire, nor a comprehensive withdrawal of the occupation forces from Gaza, and leaves the matters of crossings, relief, shelter, and the return of the displaced subject to Israeli approval.
Thereby, the source stressed that the US administration, through its proposal, continues to serve Netanyahu's agenda and reduce internal and external pressures exerted on him.

Netanyahu new demands to take talks back to square one: Hamas official
Last week, Izzat al-Rishq, a member of Hamas' political bureau, said that unless pressure is imposed on Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to adhere to the agreed terms regarding the prisoner exchange deal, the Israeli captives will not see the light of day.
Al-Rishq indicated on Monday that "everyone knows that Netanyahu and his Nazi government are the sides obstructing the agreement."
He emphasized that the Palestinian Resistance's demands are clear and non-negotiable: a permanent cessation of Israeli aggression on Gaza and a complete withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from the Strip.
The Hamas official warned against considering Netanyahu's new conditions as a basis for negotiation, as this would take the prisoner exchange and ceasefire talks back to square one.
Al-Rishq also dismissed the claims circulated by the Israeli occupation and some American sources about new demands introduced by Hamas as false, considering them an attempt to evade responsibility for "Israel's role in delaying the negotiations to stop the aggression against the Palestinian people.
