This is the best summary I could come up with:
An Egyptian spy torpedoed a potential cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas earlier this month by secretly changing its terms before handing it between the warring sides, CNN reports.
The intelligence official, Ahmed Abdel Khalek, changed the deal after Israel had already agreed to it by adding in more of Hamas’ demands to the framework to clinch their approval, according to the report.
Abdel Khalek works for Abbas Kamel, according to CNN, who is the head of Egypt’s general intelligence service.
Israel is opposed to discussing an end to the war until Hamas is defeated and all of its hostages are freed, the outlet reports.
At the time, an anonymous Israeli official told Reuters the announcement was a “ruse intended to make Israel look like the side refusing a deal.”
Biden is locked in a tight race with rival Donald Trump, but the Democrat is facing a revolt from left-wing voters who accuse him of supporting the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza by sending Israel weaponry.
