Mutual accusations escalated between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office and the Peace Council over implementing understandings related to disarming Hamas. The office said Hamas has not honored its commitments and has not handed over a single weapon, that Israel and the Peace Council face a shared challenge as long as the movement remains in power, and accused it of obstructing the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
The reports focused on Netanyahu's office response to the Peace Council and varied in scope: some limited themselves to the brief statement about a "shared challenge," others added the accusation that Hamas has not handed over weapons, and one also reported the accusation that it is obstructing Gaza's reconstruction.
