MODERATORS
First, this offer proves Israel was lying all along that they have no control over the lack of aid being delivered, if they can promise to take restrictions off aid deliveries.
Second, this phased ceasefire was not part of the original Israel or Hamas offers and was mainly being pushed by the US. The Biden team has this belief that a six week pause in fighting could turn into a permanent ceasefire since both sides would be reluctant to be the one to go back to fighting. This is a terribly ignorant idea on Biden’s part and a major miscalculation. Netanyahu has sworn to kill every Hamas member and not stop the war until that’s over. Waiting a few weeks gives him no incentive not to go back to fighting. Israel broke the last ceasefire and will likely do it again; neither side trusts the other to obey the terms of the ceasefire so it’s just wishful thinking on Biden’s part.
Biden may be a Zionist cuck but he knows their government. Israel would immediately turn down a permanent ceasefire so what's the point in proposing it?
A temporary one to let tensions settle might lead to Netanyahu's ousting, a permanent ceasefire deal, or end up with a continued genocide. Even if the chances of peace are low, isn't it better than the alternative?
Because it’s the right thing to do. Because Biden has a great deal of leverage over Israel; he is overriding Congress to give Israel offensive weapons and is the only person holding back the UN Security Council from voting to mandate a ceasefire. Reagan was able to force a ceasefire in the 1980s with one phone call, and Biden isn’t even willing to try.
Not if you want the fighting to continue so that you can keep using it as a talking point to get Trump elected.
