Benjamin Netanyahu has said he will not accept any ceasefire deal that requires the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners or the departure of Israeli troops from Gaza, as the Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, said he was willing to travel to Cairo to discuss the proposals.
Haniyeh said the group’s aim remained to end Israel’s military offensive in Gaza and secure a full pullout of Israeli forces from the territory.
Although it was known Israel would struggle to accept such terms, Egypt, Qatar and the US are hoping to see if the two sides can be persuaded to accept a ceasefire lasting at least a month, which offers the chance for almost all the hostages to be released.
The proposal, described as a framework, was hammered out between Egypt, Qatar, the US and Israel on Sunday during talks in Paris. The location of the talks meant Hamas negotiators could not be present.
It’s idiotic to think he’s gonna agree to anything. He’s finally doing what he’s always wanted and is gonna go as far as he can before being removed from power or killed. End all support to his regime
The CIA haven’t CIA-ed anyone high profile in a while, what are we even paying them for
Killing journalists and astroturfing on Facebook mostly
Well I don’t like that, what’s the point of an international ring of amoral saboteurs if you can’t take out a genocidal maniac
Even if they were CIA-ing, I’m pretty sure they’d be CIA-ing in support of Bibi rather than the other way around. The US seems happy enough to let him carry on genociding, as long as he provides just enough plausible deniability.
Mossad is better at the game than CIA
Colonizer refuses to remove occupying troops from colony.
Genocide will proceed according to plan.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Benjamin Netanyahu has said he will not accept any ceasefire deal that requires the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners or the departure of Israeli troops from Gaza, as the Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, said he was willing to travel to Cairo to discuss the proposals.
In regard to reports of a potential hostage deal, the Israeli PM said the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would not leave Gaza, and he said he had no intention of releasing thousands of “terrorists”.
He said Israel would achieve all its objectives, adding: “That means eliminating Hamas, returning all of our hostages and ensuring that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel.” Until then, no Palestinian prisoners would be freed from Israeli jails, Netanyahu said.
The senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri said Netanyahu’s comments “prove he isn’t interested in the success of the Paris meeting and doesn’t care about [Israeli] prisoners’ lives”.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army said on Tuesday it was channelling water into Gaza’s tunnels in an attempt to destroy the sprawling underground network used by Hamas to launch attacks on Israel.
“This tool is one of a range of capabilities developed by the IDF and Israel’s security establishment in recent years in order to operate against Hamas’s underground infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.”

There are two ways to ensure Israeli security. One of them involves giving Palestinians full representation. The other is not as nice.
Genocide. It’s called genocide.
