US calls for immediate ceasefire in Gaza with draft UN resolution
US calls for immediate ceasefire in Gaza with draft UN resolution
Source says wording suggests significant movement in US position as pressure mounts on Israel to halt campaign
Cool. This would've been better four months ago, but the second best time is now, I guess.
Now stop giving them guns.
Glad Biden is in charge of this and not Trump, doubt there would be any progress under him.
This isn't progress either. It's the same absurd "give up all leverage permanently in exchange for a temporary cease fire that the Israeli government has shown an unwillingness to honor" deal from a month or two ago.
It's pure theater to make it seem like the Israeli apartheid regime is blameless because "Hamas said no to a totally fair deal, we promise!"
Israel doesn't want peace, Hamas won't under ridiculously slanted conditions (or arguably at all), and the Biden administration won't stop fueling the genocide by sending the weapons IDF uses to massacre innocent civilians.
The secretary of state, Antony Blinken, presented the resolution as calling for “an immediate ceasefire tied to the release of hostages”.
So same shit that is already on the table but Gaza does not accept.
Hamas offered release of hostages in return for a total end to hostilities and Israel declined. Don't lay this shit on the resistance; Israel has the power to stop the killing any day they fancied it.
There is no "end to hostilities" as long as Hamas exists. That should be obvious by now - Hamas' demands to any form of peace are a total farce and only the dumbest idiots would fall for that. Want a ceasefire? Release the hostages. Want permanent peace? Disarm the terrorists and come to negotiations.
And it calls for a "sustained" instead of permanent ceasefire.
Israel rejected a Hamas proposal for hostage release in exchange for an agreement that would end the war.
Yes.
