Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported that senior security officials in Israel confirmed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may thwart the truce negotiations.
The newspaper also reported that the Ministers of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, and Finance Minister, Bezalel, may thwart the deal for political reasons

On Sunday, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office also announced the conditions set by Benjamin Netanyahu for the expected deal with Hamas.
Netanyahu's office said in a statement that any ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip must allow Israel to continue fighting until it achieves its war goals.
He added that the agreement must prevent the smuggling of weapons to Hamas across the border between Gaza and Egypt, and must not allow thousands of militants to return to northern Gaza.

He added that Israel will work to return the largest number of living hostages.

The statement stated, "The broad lines that were agreed upon and received Biden's blessing will allow Israel to return the kidnapped people without harming Israel's other goals."

He added, "The actions of the Israeli army in Rafah are what prompted Hamas to modify its position and enter into negotiations."

Netanyahu's statement comes amid renewed mediation efforts by the United States, Qatar, and Egypt to urge Israel and Hamas to engage in talks to stop the nine-month war and reach an agreement to release hostages held by Hamas and Palestinian detainees in Israel.

Hamas agrees to negotiations without a permanent cessation of fighting
A Hamas leader told Agence France-Presse on Sunday that the movement agreed “to begin negotiations” over the hostages “without a permanent ceasefire.”
The official, requesting anonymity, recalled that “Hamas had previously required that Israel agree to a complete, permanent ceasefire” in order to enter into negotiations over the hostages.
He added, "This step was bypassed, as the mediators pledged that as long as the prisoner negotiations continue, the ceasefire will continue."
He continued, "Hamas backed down from its condition for a permanent ceasefire, as it agreed that negotiations would begin without a permanent ceasefire."
Officials said that Israel had previously strongly opposed Hamas' demands for a permanent ceasefire.
New talks moves
The Egyptian Cairo News Channel reported on Sunday, citing a high-ranking source, that CIA Director William Burns is expected to visit Cairo this week to hold talks on a ceasefire in Gaza.
The source said, "The CIA chief is expected to go to Cairo this week to participate in negotiations on the prisoner deal and ending the war that has been ongoing for nine months in the Gaza Strip."
An informed source said earlier today that Burns will also travel to Qatar this week.
Cairo News added that Egypt will also receive an Israeli delegation this week.

In another context, Yair Lapid, head of the Israeli opposition, stressed the necessity of stopping the Gaza war and exchanging prisoners, pointing out that Israel has not fought long-term wars, and that reserve forces are not qualified for these wars.
