Israel: Hamas offer to free hostage, four bodies is ‘psychological warfare’
Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office on Friday rejected a Hamas offer to release Edan Alexander, 21, in an effort to jump-start stalled ceasefire negotiations.
“While Israel accepted the Witkoff plan, Hamas persisted in its refusal and did not move a millimeter,” the Prime Minister’s Office said, referring to Trump administration special envoy Steve Witkoff’s proposal to extend the first phase of the ceasefire.
“At the same time, [Hamas] continues to employ manipulation and psychological warfare,” the Prime Minister’s Office added.
