The statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office came a day after Biden outlined the plan, and as families of Israeli hostages held by Hamas called for all parties to immediately accept the proposal. A major demonstration in Israel on Saturday night urged the government to act now.
Eighteen months ago, the US traded an international arms dealer who was wanted in several nations, for a college WNBA basketball player and a retired US Marine. The numbers don’t matter. The value of the lives of your own should always be greater than retribution.
Yeah, they call Viktor Bout “The Merchant of Death” for a reason. It was a wildly disproportionate exchange on paper. Biden was in full control of that decision. I think he did the right thing by listening to citizens. She would’ve died in a Russian prison had he refused Putin.
it’s incredible how dangerous he is for the democratic institutions of the free world.
Bibi is a giant piece of shit. And trump is a giant piece of shit.
But if they both magically disappeared someone else would take their spot and fill their role before you could blink.
It's the money behind them that are the real problem, you think Bibi is writing the checks himself to both American parties?
It happened long before him, and unless we start having higher standards than "republicans do it to, so we can't be mad Dems do it" then the next asshole from over there is going to just keep paying our next batch of assholes and nothing will change but the names on the checks
Huh. Yesterday, I was told that this plan was endorsed by Israel. I doubt Biden was lying about it. Now it's a nonstarter.
The Netanyahu regime is operating in bad faith in order to make Biden appear foolish and weak because Bibi wants Trump. Biden keeps playing into his hands.

An aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Sunday that Israel has accepted a framework deal for ending the Gaza war, proposed by U.S. President Joe Biden. Despite describing the plan as flawed and needing much more work, Netanyahu's chief foreign policy advisor, Ophir Falk, told Britain's Sunday Times, "It's a deal we agreed to — it's not a good deal, but we dearly want the hostages released, all of them."
