No end to Gaza war until ’destruction’ of Hamas, says Netanyahu
No end to Gaza war until ’destruction’ of Hamas, says Netanyahu
Israel PM says his country’s conditions for ending conflict have not changed after US president presented ceasefire plan
You're viewing a single thread.
Do take note that Biden's proposal from yesterday was supposedly drafted at Netanyahu's cabinet, according to the US government itself. Netanyahu now opposes their own initiative because he's decided it's not convenient for him to end the war just yet. This isn't some sort of principled attempt to paint himself as the protector of Israel, but a pathetic excuse of a man willing to sacrifice more lives for his own self interest.
This is Netanyahu playing Biden like a fiddle.
Yeah but they're arab lives, so they don't count them.

Source on that? It's interesting that you say "supposedly...according to the US government itself." If the government says something, usually it's easily verifiable.
I can't find the source for that specific point, but there was an Israeli draft for a truce proposal moving around a little bit earlier:

And some political commentators were interpreting Biden's move as a means to lock the Israeli government in this position before they changed their mind again
Biden was lying. He thought that he could pressure Netanyahu to agree, but since so far Israel continued to receive almost full support from the US despite all public talking, Netanyahu knows that Biden is his lapdog.
Biden has been and wants to continue to support Netanyahu and the genocide. It is only now that he starts fearing people to be fed up with genocide Joe, that he needs to do something about it. But he completely underestimates that the people aren't stupid and they have learned so much about the reality of Israel and the US that just building a Pier for aid that didnt deliver more than one shipment doesn't cut it. Biden is an old man that is unable to face new realities and understand that people don't perceive the world along his entrenched convictions. He said it himself. He is a Zionist and he wants to always support Zionism. He just struggles to understand why progressive Americans are not fine with mass murder of brown people anymore.
He thought that he could pressure Netanyahu to agree
Biden has been and wants to continue to support Netanyahu and the genocide.
At least pick a goddamn story that makes sense. This is insulting.
It can be a little bit of both. There’s plenty of evidence for either.
He wants a Netanyahu to agree to a temporary ceasefire to get some breathing room for his election campaign. He wants things to continue afterwards, when managed to distract people from the topic.
How is that so complicated to understand? It is the same kind of stunt like with the holding back one shipment of bombs and then delivering $ 17,000,000,000 more of weapons to Israel to continue the slaughter.
