US officials say Gaza deal on edge of collapse(www.politico.com)

posted 4 months ago

The deal to bring an end to the fighting in Gaza is on the brink of collapsing — and there is no clear immediate alternative agreement that could be put forward in its place, according to two U.S. and two Israeli officials.

Both Israel and Hamas also disagree over Israel’s presence in both the Philadelphi Corridor, a stretch of land on the Egypt-Gaza border, and in a main throughway that leads to northern Gaza. Israel has said it wants to maintain its position in both places to ensure Hamas cannot smuggle goods in through Egypt and reposition its strongholds.

Man this article is filled to the brim with propaganda it’s amazing. Hamas already agreed to the ceasefire deal from June. Netanyahu just keeps adding new conditions of keeping israeli troops in Gaza. Politico points the blame finger to Hamas.

Lol right “Israel has signed on”

The hell no they didn’t. They demanded a temporary ceasefire every single time, even after Hamas agreed with the remaining conditions. Then Netanyahu made a fresh speech about how he won’t sign anything until Gaza is nuked.

I’m pretty sure there was even a whole report indicating that Israel didn’t expect Hamas to actually accept the terms so quickly because they were gonna use it as a way of indicating that Hamas doesn’t want to negotiate a ceasefire. Except they literally accepted all the details, and Israel looked stupid for pretending to agree to the terms.

The US even said it was “Israel’s deal” and the UN signed on to it and approved it. The only people who haven’t approved “Israel’s deal” is Israel lol.

Israel has said it wants to maintain its position in both places to ensure Hamas cannot smuggle goods in through Egypt and reposition its strongholds.

Reminder that Israel smuggles millions of dollars into Gaza for Hamas, and Israeli politicians literally lobby other countries so they’ll fund Hamas.

If anything, Israel wants a presence to ensure their boogean stays in power so they have an excuse to genocide.

Can’t have a war when the opposition is weak. Where would be the fun in that.

I’d be surprised if it was ever on the brink of happening.

Brink of collapse? Has it ever been otherwise?

Oh yeah. Any time Netanyahu needs weapons, the talks are proceeding in good faith. Then once he gets the next shipment, they’re on the verge of collapse. Rinse and repeat.
