Israel has accused Hamas of rejecting a hostage deal following a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, which the US allowed to pass without a veto. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office labeled Hamas's demands, including the end to the war and total IDF retreat from Gaza, in the indirect negotiations as 'delusional', indicating a lack of interest in reaching a deal. A senior Biden official criticized Netanyahu for claiming the UN vote led Hamas to harden its stance. The US State Department, through spokesperson Matthew Miller, has refuted Israel's claim that the UN resolution hampered the hostage talks, calling the statement inaccurate and unfair to the hostages and their families. This dispute has sparked a new row between Israel and the Biden administration, with the US sharply rejecting Israeli allegations that its abstention at the UN Security Council and the rejection of the 'compromise proposal' had negatively impacted the negotiations.
