Talks to reach a Gaza truce were expected to resume Sunday after officials from the Hamas Islamist organisation and Israel publicly disagreed over demands to end their seven-month war.
Vowing to destroy Hamas, Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 34,654 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry. Negotiators have proposed a 40-day pause in the fighting and an exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners, according to details released by Britain.
He accused Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of "personally hindering" truce efforts due to "personal interests". Previous negotiations stalled in part due to Hamas's demand for a lasting ceasefire and Netanyahu's vows to crush the group's remaining fighters in the far-southern city of Rafah, where half of Gaza's population is sheltering.
Netanyahu on Thursday vowed to "do what is necessary to win and overcome our enemy, including in Rafah." On Friday the UN humanitarian agency OCHA said there has been recently observed "incremental progress in access to food, water, and sanitation facilities."
