  • Israel and Hamas blame each other for delays in ceasefire talks as deal inches closer - Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu accuses Hamas of lying and 'reneging on understandings already reached'

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, highlighting the mutual accusations of causing delays in the talks.
