The Security Council approved: an immediate cease-fire during Ramadan - and the unconditional release of all the abductees/Walla system!
The announcement by the Prime Minister's Office that linked the decision of the Biden administration not to impose a veto in the Security Council yesterday, and the impasse in the negotiations on the deal for the release of the abductees, caused great anger in the White House.
The discussion in the Security Council, yesterday/Walla! system, no
why is it important
The Biden administration has pushed in recent days together with the Qatari and Egyptian mediators for progress on a deal to release the hostages.
The administration saw the deal as the only way to reach a ceasefire for at least six weeks.
The impasse in the talks exacerbates not only the tensions and the battle of accusations between Israel and Hamas, but also between Netanyahu's office and the White House.
This leads to a further worsening of the crisis between the parties.

In the news center
The Prime Minister's Office claimed that the previous Security Council decision did not link the cease-fire to the release of the hostages, and that the fact that the US did not veto it means a change for the worse in the American position.
The White House rejected these claims and emphasized that the Security Council's previous decision does not have binding legal status in any case, and that the US position remains the same - a ceasefire will be reached only as part of a deal to release hostages.
The White House denied his claims.

what are they saying
Shortly after the head of the Mossad, Dedi Barnea, ordered the Israeli negotiating team to return from Qatar to Israel, due to the reaction of Hamas, the Prime Minister's Office published a statement from which it was implied that the USA was responsible for the explosion in the talks about the hostage deal.
"Hamas' position clearly proves that Hamas is not interested in continuing negotiations for a deal, and is an unfortunate testimony to the damage of the Security Council's decision...Hamas refused any American compromise proposal, and also welcomed the Security Council's decision," the Prime Minister's Office announced.
the other side
A senior American official rejected the Israeli claims outright and said that almost all sections of the statement published by Netanyahu's office are inaccurate, and are based on media reports about Hamas's response, and not on its true text.
"This is unfair conduct towards the abductees and their families," said the American official.
The American official pointed out that Hamas's response was prepared before the vote in the UN Security Council even took place, so it has nothing to do with the American decision not to impose a veto.
"We will not play politics with the most sensitive and difficult issue. We will remain focused on reaching a deal to release the abductees who remain in captivity," said the American official.
