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.

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.

Bruh.

They’ve been lying to you. Israel has no interest in a ceasefire. They just don’t want tell the gravy train to go fuck itself.

Many have realized for months there is only one way this will end: with no Palestinians in Gaza. Later, I expect at least a million dead and the rest living elsewhere.

There are at least 1/5 that many dead now, and the famine and disease will start claiming victims at a faster rate.

Once Gaza is depopulated, Israel will force the West Bank out next.

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.
