Following the UN Security Council vote to approve a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza, U.S. officials and other international allies of Israel are cynically placing blame on Hamas for a stall in current ceasefire negotiations — even as Israel has insisted on indefinitely continuing its massacre in Gaza and Hamas has said its main...
“Hamas’s requests would ultimately undermine the phased nature of the proposal on which agreement rests,” the senior administration official said Wednesday. “It will be difficult to get Israel to agree to automaticity that the ceasefire will become permanent.”
they are making the deal for permanent ceasefire hard by asking for details on how and when it becomes a ceasefire
A diplomatic source told CNN the Hamas response “contained amendments to the Israeli proposal, including a timeline for a permanent ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.”...
Sources in Hamas told Haaretz that “The amendments that were submitted are intended to ensure that the withdrawal and cease-fire be established in the first phase, and that Israel will not be able to evade the implementation of all stages of the deal and return to fighting once all the hostages are released.”
How dare they want to ensure a ceasefire actually happens
Why do you anyone is mad at you? It’s frustration that the US continues to do this exact routine and now hilarious blinkin is angry he has to actually do work
His background is national security not diplomacy.
Source on him being the reason it was successful? That’d be impressive for a non diplomat to be the one to do it as he was Bidens national security advisor at the time
Mr. Kerry argued that Ms. Sherman deserved the post after leading the effort to roll back Iran’s nuclear program so that it could not race for a bomb. Those negotiations are entering into what may be their final stretch, with a deadline of Nov. 24.
That does nothing to support Blinken as a good negotiator. Just like his resume paints him as a war hawk which is the opposite of what we need as secretary of state
Their comments here and comment history just show they want Israel to be able to eliminate all Palestinians. Idk if any logic you present will change their mind (or any others that think like that)
