“It looked like a whole new proposal,” one [Israeli] official said.

A source with knowledge of the negotiations said the U.S. invited the Israelis to Cairo over the weekend but they chose not to send a team. One Israeli official admitted it was a mistake that led Israel to have less visibility into the talks

Wow so weird that if you don’t show up to negotiations things happen without you! Who would have thought

It’s almost like they have no interest in diplomacy or actually getting the hostages back

Why are we involved? It’s not our territory, it’s not our business, it’s not our problem.

Innocent people are dying and we’re providing the weapons to kill them. If we’re not gonna be involved, at least stop sending weapons. But even better: let’s try to stop people from being killed.

We do not live in isolation in the world. Experience has shown that isolationism delivers very negative consequences

The US has always brokered deals in the middle east, and the reason has been oil, I reckon. In this case the parties aren’t talking directly, so the US uses its allies of Egypt and Qatar to talk to Hamas while we talk to Isreal.

There is a lot of ground between being an isolationist hermit like North Korea and getting involved in conflicts that we need not be involved in. I would say our involvement in the Middle East has done more harm than good. We are the reason Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan are in the conditions they are in, for instance.

We are hardly the reason why Iran and Afghanistan are in their present condition. Afghanistan was a theocracy before we showed up as it is now. Not that we didn’t try to instill democracy, but we failed. Iran was carved out by western powers and had a revolution making it a theocracy, which it is now. The US did take a dictatorship in Iraq and moved it to Democracy.

I came to negotiate…Keep me in power and I’ll come back and murder your citizens, the way I promised to.

See. No overlap

I wish I was so delusional as to think both sides are equally bad in this situation

I legitimately don’t know if you are talking about Netanyahu or Hamas

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
