In recent developments regarding the ongoing ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, conflicting reports have emerged from various sources. According to CNN, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reversed on a key Israeli concession in the talks by demanding that armed men be barred from returning to northern Gaza during an eventual ceasefire.
Israel had previously agreed to allow Palestinians unrestricted access to northern Gaza during a ceasefire, but Netanyahu's new demand could potentially upend progress in hostage negotiations and raise questions about his commitment to the proposed deal. The Israeli prime minister's office has yet to comment on the matter.
Meanwhile, Hamas has denied withdrawing from ceasefire talks despite reports suggesting otherwise. According to a senior Hamas official, Izzat El-Reshiq, the group is still engaged in negotiations and accused Prime Minister Netanyahu of trying to derail efforts by Arab mediators and the United States to reach a ceasefire deal.
Despite these developments, both sides appear committed to reaching a permanent ceasefire. Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh told international mediators Qatar and Egypt that talks would end on a ceasefire plan first outlined by US President Joe Biden in May. However, gaps remain in the negotiations, particularly regarding Israel's insistence on its right to return to fighting after releasing hostages until all war objectives are achieved.
These conflicting reports underscore the complexity of the situation and highlight the need for a comprehensive and unbiased understanding of events as they unfold. It is crucial that all parties involved remain committed to finding a peaceful solution, free from bias or deception.

The author makes several appeals to authority in the article. She quotes unnamed officials from the US and Arab countries making statements about the negotiations between Israel and Hamas. While these statements may be accurate, they do not provide any logical reasoning or evidence for why there are gaps in the negotiations or why Netanyahu is stalling. Additionally, there are several instances of inflammatory rhetoric used by unnamed sources to criticize Netanyahu's intentions and motivations. For example, a former Egyptian official accuses Netanyahu of not wanting peace and intentionally seeking to prolong the war until the US presidential election. While these statements may be true, they do not provide any logical reasoning or evidence for why this is the case. Therefore, I cannot give a score higher than 85.
