Failure of Gaza deal sparks suspicion

China Daily  

Residents of the Israeli coastal town of Acre check the damage caused by a rocket fired from Lebanon on Sunday. JACK GUEZ/AFP The latest round of Gaza cease-fire talks ended with no deal, raising suspicions of delaying tactics and a diplomatic smoke screen of a joint "Israel-US project serving Israel's campaign of destruction", experts say. "The real objective behind the ongoing negotiations in Doha and Cairo … is to divert attention from the situation in Gaza and to give Israel more time to complete its campaign of destruction," Abuamer said. Hamas said its delegation demanded that Israel accept what had been agreed upon on July 2, based on US President Joe Biden's proposal and the United Nations Security Council resolution, Xinhua News Agency reported. Late on Sunday, Israel issued new evacuation orders for Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, forcing more families to flee, saying its forces intended to act against Hamas and others operating in the area.
