Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Hamas of backing out of a cease-fire deal to release hostages and end the war in Gaza, which has raged for more than a year. An Israeli Cabinet vote on the cease-fire deal has been delayed indefinitely.

The dispute underscores the fragility of the deal as mediators worked to ensure that it would go into effect on schedule.

Netanyahu’s office accused Hamas of reneging on parts of the agreement in an attempt “to extort last minute concessions.”
