Israel and Hamas reach tentative U.S.-brokered deal to pause conflict, free dozens of hostages
Israel, the United States and Hamas are close to an agreement to free dozens of women and children held hostage in Gaza, in exchange for the first sustained pause in conflict in Gaza, according to people familiar with its provisions.
You're viewing a single thread.
More than 100 countries — but, notably, not the United States — have called for a full and immediate cease-fire.
And yet the us brokered the deal.
Just politics. If we'd called for a ceasefire after Bibi said "No ceasefire", everything we said behind the scenes about a 'humanitarian pause' would have fallen on deaf ears. Yet all of those countries, without such high-level diplomatic connections with Israel, are also entirely correct in calling for a ceasefire.
"just politics" is an odd way to dismiss this. Of course it's politics.
It's called diplomacy. Israel doesn't talk to Hamas, it talks to the US who has interests with the Qataris who they talk to. The Qataris talk to Hamas.
Brokered by the US? Yes. Yes it was.
It is a "pause in conflict" so we should assume they'll continue later.
Considering it's had been happening for a couple millennia, it's a certainty there is going to be more conflict between those groups.
This particular conflict is only a century old. But yes, it is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
I had no idea Russia was part of Western civilization. Good talk.
Adding to the other guy. The whole thing began with the Balfour declaration in 1918 (not sure of the exact date).
The only "conflict" that has been "happening for a couple millennia" is the one "western civilization" has been waging on Jewish people.
Sure, if you ignore 1000ish years of persecution by the paedo worshippers.
paedo worshippers.
And who might this be?
I am realistic enough to know that if a cease fire was established it would likely not last long.
what made them change their minds?
US elections.
