Netanyahu reverses key Israeli concession in Gaza ceasefire talks

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reversed a key Israeli concession in ceasefire negotiations, demanding that armed men be barred from returning to northern Gaza during an eventual ceasefire, an Israeli source familiar with the talks told CNN.

Israel had previously agreed to allow Palestinians unrestricted access to northern Gaza during an eventual ceasefire, but the Prime Minister told his negotiating team this week to demand that armed men be barred from northern Gaza as part of any ceasefire and hostage deal, the source said.

The new demand could potentially upend progress in hostage negotiations and raises further questions about Mr Netanyahu's commitment to Israel's own proposal for a deal that has become the basis for detailed negotiations.
