According to a statement released by Hamas on Thursday, they informed ceasefire talks mediators that they are ready to reach a "complete agreement" including a comprehensive hostages/prisoners exchange deal if Israel "stops its war and aggression against people in Gaza," Reuters reported. Hamas declared earlier this month that it was prepared to accept a ceasefire offer that was made to it. It was later found that the terrorist group was consenting to a modified version of the deal that Israel considered to be "unacceptable," despite the initial belief that the agreement it was alluding to was the same one that Israel had implicitly approved.
Subsequently, an Egyptian intelligence service agent altered the agreement that was sent to Hamas for evaluation, according to a report by CNN, which cited three unnamed people with knowledge of the situation..
