reneging

Hamas accused Israel of reneging on the deal and said the second phase should go ahead as agreed.

Israel delayed by two days allowing displaced Palestinians to return to the north of the Gaza Strip, accusing Hamas of reneging on a commitment to free a female Israeli civilian hostage.

"That means reneging on an international commitment that they've made which isn't acceptable," he added.

The government vote had been expected on Thursday, but the meeting was delayed after Netanyahu accused Hamas of reneging on parts of the deal - an allegation Hamas denied.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the group was reneging on understandings that had already been reached about a possible ceasefire.
