ISRAEL was accused of stalling on the crucial ceasefire agreement with Hamas today, as at least another 78 people were killed by the IDF’s continued killing spree in Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that a “last-minute crisis” with Hamas today was holding up Israeli approval of a long-awaited pause to fighting in the Gaza Strip and the release of dozens of hostages. 

Mr Netanyahu began signalling that there were issues with the deal just hours after US President Joe Biden and key mediator Qatar announced it was complete.
