Israel has offered a plan for 6 week Gaza cease-fire and hostage release, Biden says
The first phase includes the release of some hostages, including women and elderly people, and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
And if I offered to buy the Brooklyn Bridge for a dollar, I've made an offer on it...
Just not a serious offer that has any chance of being accepted.
Clearly you didn’t read the article. Your opinions are consistently baseless.
The first phase would last six weeks, and includes "a full and complete cease-fire and withdrawal" of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gaza, the release of a number of hostages, including women, the elderly, and the wounded in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
It’s the most fair agreement I’ve seen yet. There’s a decent chance of acceptance.
It's only 6 weeks. It's hard to justify killing prisoners, returning them to the killing fields brings opportunities. Don't talk about "fair", it's a 6 weeks break in the genocide so they can continue bombings later without a chance of hitting their own held hostage there. A "fair" deal would be a 6 months ceasefire which would include 6 months of further negotiations to completely end the violence. 6 weeks is just an opportunity to rearrange and repair their army and airforce for the second destructive wave. There is no "fair" when one side consists of terrorist fighters among millions of civilians and the other side consists of fascists wanting to wipe them out completely. There is no right, only wrong and mass amounts of innocent victims.
For Phase 2 it would be appropriate to include recognizing Palestine like most countries and removing the Israeli military fence. Among other things, of course.
Why exactly would they remove the fence? Lots of countries (particularly ones with hostile relations) have similar constructions on their borders.
For reasons of Apartheid. More info in this article:
they have fences and checkpoints littering the west bank that must be dismantled as well
So phase 1 is gazans go home but nothing is done to rebuild until phase 3.
Where would they go? Tents on rubble?
Don't sweat it, Bibi, it's just 6 weeks, then the killing resumes!
Oh don't you worry your little ass Bibi we all know the fighting won't stop even if there IS a ceasefire agreement, they'll find a way to break it and kill some more women and children
So 6 weeks and then the genocide can continue?
You obviously didn't read the article.
The headline is faulty tbh
Missing from the headline:
"In Phase 2, would include the release of all remaining living hostages, including male soldiers in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. As long as Hamas lives up to its commitments, the temporary cease-fire would become “the cessation of hostilities permanently,” Biden said."
It is practically the same proposal that Hamas accepted a few weeks back and was rejected by Israel, only to then storm into Rafah and commit more heinous atrocities with the support of the US.
Trying to flip the script now is a shameless attempt to portray genocidal Israel once again as the good guys, who graciously decided to not continue their "self defense" against evil savages.
And quite frankly Biden this is not enough. We need guarantees that Israel won't storm in again and continue their genocide. We need guarantees that Gaza and the Westbank will be rebuild. We need guarantees that Israeli war criminals will be surrendered to the ICC especially the ones in the government. We need guarantees that all settlements in the Westbank will be destroyed and the land will be given back. We need a recognition of a Palestinian state as full member to the UN by the US.
We cannot accept going back to the status quo of slow ethnic cleansing and slow genocide by the terrorist state of Israel.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the key difference between the two is that the proposal by hamas wanted to negotiate dead hostages for living hostages.
Either way, I agree with the rest. These cease fires are a facade because neither side trusts the other to keep it and so they dont keep to it themselves. There is no trust. There needs to be more than pinky promises to guarantee the end of this genocide.
Oh nice I was wondering when the weekly Biden gaslight would drop.
Israel just tweeted that they want to make clear won't stop until "they believe Hamas is fully destroyed" aka infinite Genocide.
The US government just started Chapter 2: What to do on Day 3 of a conflict.
When this eventually dies out, I bet they try take credit.
