Hamas Says Gaza Truce Possible 'Within 24 To 48 Hours' If Israel Accepts Terms
A senior Hamas official told AFP on Sunday that a ceasefire in Gaza may be secured "within 24 to 48 hours" if Israel accepts the Palestinian group's demands in ongoing talks.
"If Israel agrees to Hamas demands, which include the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza and increasing humanitarian aid, that would pave the way for a (truce) agreement within the next 24 to 48 hours," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive issue, as negotiations were set to resume in Cairo.

"If Israel agrees to Hamas demands..."
Well we know that's never going to happen.
Unless Joe Biden starts pressuring israel of course.
See, that's the key difference between us... I don't believe Bibi gives two shits what the US or Biden says. :)

I honestly think that Bibi knows if he tanks Biden then Trump will probably be better for his government. He has basically no incentive to be reasonable since nobody is willing to hold them accountable and he knows it's very unlikely Biden will be able to.
Bibi wants genocide and the land. Trump hates Muslims and would gladly join in the bombing.
I mean of course, trump is one of the ones that helped prop up Netanyahu during his declining popularity.
Biden is not tying any of his demands to funding.
Bibi doesn't give a shit about Biden, but Israel better start giving a shit about the US. We have propped them up for well over 70 years, and the sentiment is swinging toward Gaza as a preview for Israel. We don't really want them dead but their safety is rapidly diminishing as OUR priority. Israel only had marginal popularity in the US at the best of times, making themselves the heel was not smart.
Right now we want to wash our hands of several of our middle eastern baggage states. Israel is a 3.5 billion per year financial burden and a regional soft power liability we inherited from France and England after WW2. Bibi is giving us the perfect excuse to sever existing treaties.
They want to kill all Palestinians cool, they can do it on their own permanently. It just means the US gets to cut a massive liability from their foreign relations.
We should have cut them loose ages ago.
I saw one estimate that cumulative, since 1948, we've sent them $300 Billion.
I don't care what Biden says. You don't care what he says. Nobody cares what Biden says.
Biden's words mean nothing. Only his actions matter.
So far Biden has done nothing but grovel for Netanyahu and try to give him as many bombs as possible. Biden has bypassed congress because israel needed those tank shells to commit Genocide with. Just a few days ago Biden once against used his UN veto's for israel.
Biden has all the power in the world to shut israel down. Netanyahu is powerless without Biden enabling his Genocide. Netanyahu is but a convenient scapegoat everyone points to blame.
Biden biden biden. Never blame toward congress, ANY other figure, always Biden Biden Biden. It's like you have an agenda
Bypassing Congress multiple times to provide weapons to Israel will do that.
lol did you think congress was against it? Israel is the largest recipient of military aid since WW2. We’ve consistently given them aid, regardless of the president. You’re painting it as a move that went against congress’ wishes when it was to avoid the typical congressional delays.
Your president doesn’t matter. It’s the country you live in. The US has never had a stance that’s opposed providing weapons and funding to Israel.
The country is to blame. Not this particular president. The president changes, but there is a massive apparatus that supports Israel. I don’t even think a pro Palestinian president could realistically stop it. It’s way, way bigger than just the president. Even if you had a pro Palestinian president, congress would need to change entirely as well. You guys can’t help but look at just what’s in front of your faces. You’re missing the forest for the trees.
Good call out. This shouldn't be a thing that is possible since Congress supposedly controls our budget and spending.
Because Biden is in charge.
Biden vetoes the ceasefires.
Biden bypasses congress to help israel commit Genocide.
Biden is the one who is responsible.
If it was Trump in charge it would be Trump Trump Trump. Tell me is Trump president right now?
