Mediators puzzled by Netanyahu’s silence on ceasefire: Report

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has spoken with “the highest-level mediators” involved in ceasefire talks, as they try to understand why Israel’s government has not replied to the latest proposal.

“In recent days I spoke with the highest-level mediators in the negotiations, and they told me, ‘We don’t understand what happened – Hamas accepted the conditions Netanyahu set’,” Lapid told Israel’s Army Radio.

“They called to ask me if I know why he hasn’t gotten back to them,” he added.
