CIA Director William Burns reviewed a Gaza ceasefire proposal approved by Hamas earlier this month before it was submitted to Israeli officials, two current and one former Egyptian intelligence officials told Middle East Eye.
Last week, CNN reported that an Egyptian intelligence official had “quietly changed” the terms of the proposal, surprising negotiators and leading to Israel rejecting the deal.
However, the three Egyptian intelligence sources told MEE that Burns was among several mediators who reviewed the draft before it was sent to Israel.
A source close to Hamas, familiar with the ceasefire talks, told MEE earlier this week that the information relayed by the sources to CNN was “nonsensical”.
The source said that Egypt was scapegoated for a breakdown of talks even though the Americans had “agreed to the two amendments by Hamas, and then because they were unable to oblige Netanyahu, they accused Egypt”.

And Nikki Haley wrote “finish them” on an Israeli missile.
Just a reminder the GOP isn’t a better option here. We need to primary out the corpos on both sides but presidentially there isn’t a anti-genocide candidate that has a chance.
The rest of their politics are important as well.
Nobody’s fucking saying that, Jesus Christ. We know they’re equally as bad or worse, but can we please just call out democrats on their bullshit without someone going ‘durr Trump worse’?
We can after November of this year. /s
Indeed. Important to keep mentioning third party is the only viable option for voters not wanting to support Genocide.
