Statement summary
Emma Vigeland says Netanyahu stalled 2023 talks with Hamas, that Sinwar then cut off the talks, and that Netanyahu brushed off what she says was a United Arab Emirates warning of an imminent Hamas attack.
“In 2023, Hamas and Israel were discussing lifting the Gaza blockade and prisoner exchanges, but as they neared a deal, Netanyahu changed the terms and stalled. Sinwar cut off talks in September. Weeks later, the UAE warned of an imminent Hamas attack. Netanyahu brushed it off.”
