Hamas Won’t Participate in Latest Round of Ceasefire Talks, Says Previous Proposal Still Stands

Why do we keep talking about a ceasefire when Bibi openly says he doesn’t want one and would never agree to one?

He does not care about the hostages. He tried to kill them all before they were taken into Palestine. We don’t know the numbers, but Israel has something called the “Hannibal Directive,” and it looks very likely that most of the Jews killed on October 7th were killed by the IDF so they would not be taken prisoner.

I didn’t make this up. There’s a wiki page.

If he’s already tried to kill them once, why would Bibi care about saving them?

Hamas said on Wednesday it would not take part in a new round of Gaza ceasefire talks slated for Thursday in Qatar, but an official briefed on the talks said mediators expected to consult with the Palestinian group afterwards.

The U.S. has said it expects indirect talks to go ahead as planned in Qatar’s capital Doha on Thursday, and that a ceasefire agreement was still possible, while warning that progress was needed urgently to avert a wider war.

However Axios reported that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has postponed a trip to the Middle East that had been expected to begin on Tuesday.

Three senior Iranian officials have said that only a ceasefire deal in Gaza would hold Iran back from direct retaliation against Israel for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on its soil last month.

Going to new negotiations allows the occupation to impose new conditions and employ the maze of negotiation to conduct more massacres,” Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters.

Hamas’ absence from the talks, however, does not eliminate the chances of progress since its chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya is based in Doha and the group has open channels with Egypt and Qatar.

Hamas is committed to the proposal presented to it on July 2, which is based on the U.N. Security Council resolution and the Biden speech and the movement is prepared to immediately begin discussion over a mechanism to implement it,” said Abu Zuhri.

It is based on a security council resolution.

But the Jews assassinated the negotiator.

Hamas is winning the war, insofar as they are not being destroyed, and continue to pop out of tunnels and shoot rockets.

In some sense, Israel has made no progress at all, having spent the better part of a year in Gaza.

Hamas is holding the cards.

They will give the prisoners back in exchange for security guarantees. Bibi says he will just kill all two million people in Gaza. Kamala Harris is just glad people aren’t talking about it as much anymore.
