    Israel doesn’t seem particularly motivated to agree to a ceasefire since we keep guaranteeing unlimited support for their war mongering. Last time we were “close” they assassinated the leader of Hamas to kick off the peace process

      Yeah. To elaborate on this, I can’t really say where Hamas is on a ceasefire, because they’ve got new leadership. But I can say that Netanyahu and his cabinet have pretty much said that they’ll only agree to a ceasefire on the condition that every member of Hamas turns themselves in the nearest IDF soldier for a summary execution. They’ve firmly rejected Biden’s ceasefire proposal, and then whipped out their dicks and peed on it.

      Biden could secure Israel’s cooperation if he wanted to. They are completely dependent on us. But unless the breakthrough that Biden is thinking of is him remember that and then telling Bibi, I don’t see what else changes. Netanyahu has firmly rejected this proposal over and over and over and made no indication that he’s moved at all on this.

      Also, if he did there is no real guarantee that Hamas will go along with it. They expressed willingness before… but that was under very different circumstances, under a totally different leader.

        It was not biden proposal if i recall correctly. It was Israel proposal that they didn’t expect hamas to agree to and they back tracked. Hamas just announced they agree to it again, and to the UN ceasefire call to vaccinate kids.

        The zaionst state will attempt to pre-long this and kill at least 50 civilian a day and destroy more homes.
