US continues to cover by pretending that a deal is close and it's Hamas which is the stumbling block.

US not deterred from Netanyahu’s Rafah comments

We heard from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying that “with or without” a deal, the preparation for a ground operation into Rafah will continue and will be launched.

Still, that has not deterred the Biden administration from pushing forward, trying to avert something they have been doing for some time.

The latest coming from the White House, in the words of the National Security Council spokesperson, John Kirby, speaking to reporters, saying there is a fresh agreement in terms of a proposal at least on the table.

The problem is that it needs to be agreed upon by both parties – that is what the administration is working hard to try and accomplish.

What we understand from this is the United States, Egypt, and Qatar would serve as guarantors of this ceasefire proposal that could allow for something more enduring and could build toward an end to the conflict.


Biden says discussed ceasefire deal with Qatari Emir, Egyptian president

In a post on X, the US president has said he spoke with Qatar’s Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi yesterday about “reaching a deal to secure the release of hostages together with an immediate ceasefire in Gaza”.

The United States, Biden said, will work with Egypt and Qatar “to ensure the full implementation of the terms of the deal, and exert all efforts to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas, which is now the only obstacle to an immediate ceasefire and relief for civilians in Gaza”.

Earlier, we reported that Israel’s prime minister said he would order troops to invade Rafah whether a deal to release the captives and secure a ceasefire is inked or not.



Keep pretending genocide Joe. Israel isn't going to listen while you keep handing them ship loads of cash and weapons.
