Israel Said To Believe Hamas ‘Playing For Time’ In Hope War Breaks Out In Lebanon | News18 | N18G The leader of the Hamas terror group in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, is stalling on the negotiations for a hostage-ceasefire deal with Israel in hopes that a new full-blown war will erupt on the Lebanon front before a deal is finalized, an unnamed Israeli official involved in the talks is quoted as saying by the Haaretz news site. “Hamas doesn’t want a deal now,” the source says. “It doesn’t want to release the hostages, but rather to play for time. Yahya Sinwar… wants war to erupt in the northern border and therefore will not move toward a ceasefire.” #Gaza #IDF #israel #palestine #hostages #news18 News18 Mobile App - Source: Reuters News18 Mobile App -
