US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday expressed frustration that Hamas has submitted “numerous changes” to a US-backed proposal for a ceasefire and release of hostages in Gaza – a development that casts further doubt on the prospects of quickly securing the deal the US hopes will bring “an enduring end” to the war.
“Hamas’s requests would ultimately undermine the phased nature of the proposal on which agreement rests,” the senior administration official said Wednesday. “It will be difficult to get Israel to agree to automaticity that the ceasefire will become permanent.”
they are making the deal for permanent ceasefire hard by asking for details on how and when it becomes a ceasefire
What that says is that they’re trying to ramp down engagements not stop them immediately, you know… Like a ceasefire.
Hamas has good reason to be hesitant about that shit because literally every single time Israel right before the clock runs out just goes goddamn gangbusters dropping bombs and killing kids.

The only reason anyone would reject that condition is because they want to resume the genocide.
