Al Jazeera reported earlier that Abu Obeida, spokesperson for the Qassam Brigades, published a video on the latest ceasefire talks in Qatar.

He said Israel rejected a ceasefire deal that would release all captives held in Gaza at once.

Abu Obeida blamed Netanyahu and his far-right ministers for rejecting what he described as a “comprehensive deal”.

If Israel withdraws from this round of indirect talks held in Qatar, Abu Obeida said, then Hamas does not guarantee a return to any partial deals, including a 60-day deal currently under discussion that would see 10 captives released.
