    But an unnamed Israeli official swiftly told Reuters news agency that the proposal Hamas had accepted was a “softened” version of an Egyptian proposal which included “far-reaching” conclusions that Israel could not accept.

    Well, yeah…

    This is for a permanent ceasefire…

    Israel doesn’t want that, that want to keep continuing the genocide while convincing people they want peace.

    They’ll never accept a real peace proposal while Biden lets them hide under his skirt.

    If America cut off aid, there’d be a permanent ceasefire in days.

      I’m not in the US, but from what I’ve been learning over the last few weeks, USA and Israel are two halves of the same imperial whole. Politically crude and morally bankrupt. In other words, you’re right but I don’t expect change in my lifetime unfortunately.

        This is new tho.

        Past presidents, Republican and Dem, both would eventually reign in Israel with the threat of cutting off aid.

        Biden however has spent literally 50 years saying absolutely nothing will ever make him stop supporting Israel, and a significant amount of his administration is resigning because he’s making agencies release false information about how American munitions are being used…

        Because right now Biden is breaking US and International law by supplying munitions that are being used to commit a genocide.

        That’s just facts at this point, but Biden keeps doubling down on his lies and saying it’s fine because trump breaks laws too.

          Not without supported intelligence from the State Department and against congressional legislation. POTUS needs one of the branches to support that decision or face impeachment for taking action in bad faith.

      The article states that they agree to a permanent ceasefire if the conditions were met in negotiations. They didn’t propose an alternative agreement, they agreed to the three-phase ceasefire agreement that the US prompted Israel to propose. It begins as a six-week ceasefire, with three phases of negotiations.
