Netanyahu: No point in Gaza truce talks until Hamas changes its demands

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday that he had sent negotiators for truce talks in Cairo as requested by U.S. President Joe Biden but they did not go back for further talks because Hamas' demands were "delusional".

He said there was no point in further negotiations until Hamas makes changes to its demands.

Netanyahu, speaking to reporters, also said that a broader diplomatic deal with the Palestinians could only be reached through direct negotiations without any preconditions.
