U.S. President Joe Biden last week announced a proposal for a phased plan for a cease-fire and hostage release, setting in motion the administration’s most concentrated diplomatic push for a truce.

Biden described it as an Israeli proposal, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly questioned some aspects of it, particularly its call for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a lasting truce. His ultranationalist coalition partners have threatened to bring down his government if he ends the war without destroying Hamas.

That appears to have only deepened suspicions on the part of Hamas, which has demanded international guarantees that the war will end. It’s unclear if such guarantees have been offered, and Hamas has not yet officially responded to the plan.

I feel like this would be a lot easier to work out, if Biden wasn't constantly lying to make it seem like Israel wanted peace...

I wouldnt trust a thing coming out of Biden's mouth. He's only trying to save face, not lives.

His government is coming down then. You can't destroy an insurgency through non-social means.

I mean, before 10/7 it was about to be torn down by the left...

They still want to, because they still blame Bibi for letting things get this bad.

And now the right wants to as well, because Bibi might stop before the genocide is finished.

It's just a question if the sane people get control, or people even crazier than Bibi grap the reins.

Gaza is not in the position to start truce talks. It's all on Israel.
