ISRAEL -According to a report in the Wall Street Journal Yahya Sinwar Yimakh shemo , the leader of Hamas in Gaza, reportedly instructed senior Hamas officials to postpone any potential hostage negotiations. This decision was influenced by the ongoing protests and internal unrest within Israel, as well as demonstrations against the Israeli government’s handling of its domestic affairs.

Additionally, pressure from the Biden administration has been a significant factor in Hamas’ decision-making process. The administration’s stance may have encouraged Hamas to delay in hopes of leveraging the situation for more favorable terms.
