- No Gaza ceasefire until Israel war aims achieved, Netanyahu says
- US: they’re accepting any time now … any time …
They might accept the short term cease fire but I have my doubts that this war is over.
Wake me when it happens.
Bibi is being pulled in two directions. His right, which put him in power and keeps him there, definitely doesn't want this deal and threatens to explode his cabinet. But, to the left there is a very large amount of folks that want this deal. They too promise to blow up his coalition government. Bibi, for his part, is looking for a way to have his cake and eat it too.
Must be nice to know something I don’t
Wrong.
How long have they been saying a ceasefire is right around the corner, and how long will they keep saying it? Probably right on through November, at least. Are people really still buying it?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The US government has "every expectation" that Israel will accept a ceasefire proposal that would begin with a six-week cessation of hostilities in Gaza if Hamas takes the deal, according to National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.
The three-part plan unveiled by President Joe Biden last week would also be a "surge" of humanitarian aid, as well as an exchange of some hostages for Palestinian prisoners before a permanent end to the war.
Speaking to ABC News on Sunday morning, Mr Kirby said that the US had "every expectation" that Israel would "say yes" to the proposed ceasefire deal if Hamas accepts.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said they were opposed to striking any deal before Hamas was destroyed.Similarly, Mr Netanyahu has insisted that there will be no ceasefire until Hamas’s military and governing capabilities are destroyed and all hostages are released.Hanoch Milwidsky, a senior member of the Knesset for Mr Netanyahu's Likud Party, told the BBC on Sunday that Israel's governing coalition is unified in opposition to the deal, which he called "completely unacceptable".
Mr Kirby, for his part, said that US intelligence now believes that Hamas has been militarily degraded to the extent that it can no longer repeat an attack such as that which its fighters conducted on 7 October.
More than 36,000 people have been killed across Gaza since the start of the conflict, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.The war began in October when Hamas gunmen launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking 252 back to Gaza as hostages.In the US, President Biden has faced growing domestic criticism over the level of US support for Israel, as well as calls to do more to encourage the warring sides to negotiate.
The original article contains 634 words, the summary contains 295 words. Saved 53%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Where are all the people screaming genocide Joe now? Did they get reassigned?
I don't know about you, but I said when the news came out that I'm waiting to see how it plays out.
As with everything, only time will tell. 🤞
Amazed that you still believe them, it's been 8 months of leaking stories about how much Biden hates what Israel is doing (while providing unlimited support and protection). Then again, yall spent 9 years convinced that Trump is going to prison next week.
Believe whom? The tankies? The maga in lefty clothes? The kremlin social media disrupters? All pushing the genocide Joe idea in an attempt to remove Biden.
The president of the United States does not have the power to control another country. Nor do the other 191 countries in the UN who have been silent.
And, I don’t think Trump will ever go to prison. So, I’m not sure which group you’re lumping me in with. It’s wishful thinking at best.
Israel can go fuck itself, for the record.
The tankies? The maga in lefty clothes? The kremlin social media disrupters?
Why would any of your bogeymen be claiming that Biden hates genocide?
Centrists will throw unfounded conspiracy theory accusations like this at anyone who dares to suggest that Biden should stop supporting genocide.
But say that centrists support genocide...
Believe whom?
Liberal media, the guys who trick you every week into thinking Biden wants to stop doing , he's just unable to, or actually it's electorally unpopular not to facilitate genocide, build Trump's wall, continue locking immigrants in camps, send bombs to Ukraine/Taiwan/Saudi Arabia, sanction Cuba, or increase the tariff on EVs and solar panels.
These things didn't stop being bad when team blue started doing them instead of Trump.
The president of the United States does not have the power to control another country
The US literally gives Israel the bombs they drop on Gaza, the direct military support that stops neighboring countries from helping, and the diplomatic support that prevents Israel from being more economically isolated than North Korea.
And all three of these things are within the purview of the executive.
Are you saying people should stop criticizing Biden because a spokesman "expects" Israel to stop genociding? He still sent billions of dollars in weapons long after it was clear was Israel is doing.
They're still here. Hell, one of them praises Lebanon is fighting a good fight, and I pointed out Hezbollah isn't exactly what you should support. In addition, get this, I'm not even anywhere near being pro-Israel, but rather anti-ME(Middle East) as a whole as they have culture of grudges and war crimes and hyper-religiousity.
