In a post on social media, Ben-Gvir said: 'In the last year, using our political power, we managed to prevent this deal from going ahead, time after time.' This indicates the underlying tensions and confirms Palestinian rights advocates’ claims about Israel's role in blocking ceasefire talks.
Contrary to the narrative pushed by Western officials and media, it has been the Israeli government that has consistently disrupted ceasefire negotiations, as they declare their intentions of achieving far-reaching military objectives.
Reports throughout the ceasefire negotiations show that Hamas accepted the U.S.'s ceasefire proposal, contradicting claims from Washington that they were the main roadblock. Israel's directive to continue hostilities complicates the situation.
The media's framing of the issue as a one-sided blockade by Hamas overlooks the actions of Israeli officials, who have made it clear that they are using military power to dictate the terms of any potential agreements.
