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...
I thought I read something earlier today that mentioned that the current deal is that the hostages be returned and then Israel will pull out it’s troops.
Hamas wants to alter it so that they release a few hostages, then Israel pulls out, and then they release the rest of the hostages.
It sounds like Israel had already agreed to that deal so isn’t this in Hamas’ ball park to accept or not?
Then again it sounds like every time the deal is altered, the other side wants to male new changes,
As Blinken mentioned in a different article:
“At some point in a negotiation, and this has gone back and forth for a long time, you get to a point where if one side continues to change its demands, including making demands and insisting on changes for things that it already accepted, you have to question whether they’re proceeding in good faith or not.” apnews.com/…/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-ceasef…
Has anyone actually published the entire deal (at any stage) in its entirety so that everyone can see what is being debated?
I’m on board with some sort of age cap, but it shouldn’t be a specific age/number cutoff.
That number should be dynamic and change according to some other metric like the average life expectancy of someone in that country. Maybe something like 90-95% of the life expectancy of the country?
At least that way we can provide another incentive for politicians to push forward legislation that will help increase the overall life expectancy of the nation as a whole.

State media maintained that rescue efforts were ongoing, but conflicting reports emerged regarding the status of the passengers. Some sources claimed contact had been established with one passenger and a crew member, while others denied this.
The incident also raised questions about the cause of the crash. While initial reports blamed bad weather, the possibility of technical malfunction or even foul play could not be ruled out. The Iranian government remained tight-lipped, further adding to the confusion.

Even in more controversial things like abortion there are a large number of people that agree on the same thing on both sides. Once you throw out divisive labels like “pro-life” or “pro-choice” and look at the specifics, you find that it’s not really a 2 sided issue at all: npr.org/…/poll-majority-want-to-keep-abortion-leg…
