International mediators and Hamas delegates were in Cairo Tuesday for talks to try to secure a pause in the war in Gaza ahead of the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Envoys from the Palestinian militant group and the United States were expected to meet with Qatari and Egyptian mediators for a third day of negotiations over a six-week truce, the exchange of dozens of remaining hostages for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and the flow of aid to Gaza.
Here is what baffles me: how is Hamas still making demands? They are getting stomped ,their people suffer indescribable pain and they are still setting deadlines? The fuck?
Israel using starvation as a weapon of war is disgusting barbaric and inhumane. Why are you blaming Hamas for israel’s Genocide?
So far israel has not killed any significant leading Hamas figure except for the head of the police which was escorting food to north-Gaza. In no way are they getting stomped.
Because I think hamas is a shitty organization and they do not care about Palestinians. They did attack Israel, fully knowing that right wing Netanyahu would retaliate, because he has so many internal problems that an external enemy is all he needs. both don’t give a shit about their respective civilians, both want to stay in power while trying to manipulate public opinion.
Do you know what the Abraham Accords are?
They don’t give a shit about Palestinians, that’s how.
The death of many Palestinians is completely acceptable to them, in fact it’s their strategy towards reaching their goal of the destruction of Israel. I understand wanting a ceasefire, I don’t understand thinking it will last.
“Getting stomped” is Israeli propaganda; they’re still engaged in urban warfare in occupied Gaza, but that aside:
Because without a permanent ceasefire none of this shit is gonna stop. Israel has been very clear they’re gonna invade Rafah either way (not that they can be believed either way, but they didn’t even try to lie), so unless someone prevents them from doing that negotiations are meaningless.
