Hamas has rejected Israel's latest ceasefire proposal, despite reports suggesting talks had been progressing well. Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu says a date has been set for a ground offensive in Rafah - which he has long been warned against.

    I wouldn’t call it misinformation, but man, this link is AWFUL.

    The page is a collection of headlines mostly unrelated to the topic, and the one piece involving the ceasefire is one headline + 2 sentences, sourcing Ali Baraka.

    Reuters is reporting it as “deadlocked” but directly quotes Baraka as saying:

    https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-says-gaza-truce-talks-remain-deadlocked-despite-reports-progress-2024-04-08/

    “We reject the latest Israeli proposals that the Egyptian side informed us of. The politburo met today and decided this.”

    Another Hamas official had earlier told Reuters that no progress had been made in the negotiations.

    “There is no change in the position of the occupation (Israel) and therefore, there is nothing new in the Cairo talks,” the Hamas official, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters. “There is no progress yet.”

    So you have Baraka saying it’s rejected and another un-named official implying talks are still ongoing.

    So the Sky page may not necessarily be misinformation, it’s just bad reporting.
