Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, announced Thursday that his cabinet would not convene to endorse the ceasefire agreement for Gaza.
According to Netanyahu, Hamas needs to concede on the “last-minute crisis.”
The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement that Hamas had broken some of the deal in an effort “to extort last-minute concessions.”
The agreement was scheduled for ratification by the Israeli Cabinet on Thursday.
Indonesia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry, meanwhile, praised the truce and demanded that it be put into effect right now, along with the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
In line with the two-state solution based on established international norms, the ministry said in a statement that “peace in Palestine cannot be achieved without the end of Israel’s occupation and the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state.”
