In his statement on Friday, Katz said that Israel is still agreeing to a proposal, which was presented by American envoy Steve Whitcom, “to release all living and death, and in two phases of a ceasefire.”

“We will increase the intensification of fighting with strikes from air, sea, land, and expanding the ground maneuver until the hostages are released and Hamas is defeated,” Katz wrote.

Israel says Hamas is still carrying 59 hostages, and it is believed that 24 of them are still alive.

Hamas denied that she is responsible for stopping negotiations, and said that she was “still involved in depth” and she “participates with mediators with full and serious responsibility.”
