Hamas' acceptance of a ceasefire deal was 'clever and disingenuous'

Sky News US analyst Michael Ware says most of the Israeli population is more concerned with getting the hostages back than "destroying Hamas." Hamas agreed to a ceasefire deal, brokered by Qatar and Egypt, which would have included “a rolling pause of ceasefires", according to Mr Ware. During the ceasefires, Hamas prisoners would be transferred, hostages would be exchanged, and supplies could come in. "This was a clever and disingenuous proposal by Hamas to put further pressure on the Israelis, both internationally and internally," Mr Ware told Sky News Australia. "Netanyahu's government was not popular before October 7 last year and when this war began. "But now much of the public is focused on the return of the hostages."
