NewzA former senior US official, who served as the national security adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris, has publicly accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of deliberately delaying a Gaza ceasefire and captive exchange deal in 2024. According to the former official, Netanyahu introduced numerous personal conditions that effectively made an agreement impossible for an additional six months.
The former official stated that this prolonged delay contributed to a heavy human toll, noting that nearly 9,000 Palestinians were killed during the six-month period in which the diplomatic efforts were stalled. The developments highlight ongoing domestic and international scrutiny surrounding the stalled negotiations and the political factors influencing the conflict.
