Israel delivered to the U.S. on Saturday its updated proposal for the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal, according to an Israeli senior official and two other sources with knowledge of the issue.
I wonder if Israel is feeling pressure from the US or they just want to end the Gaza war so they can focus on Lebanon/Hezbollah (which, tbh, is far more powerful than Hamas)
I honestly don’t think that they want a war with Hezbollah, but I don’t know if they know how to de-escalate it. Both sides have been trying to keep things ”even” in their exchanges but that kind of policy always leads to escalation.
Hezbollah just killed a bunch of kids in Israel, which I don’t think was the intent (they aren’t exactly itching for a war with Israel either). But how long can you keep firing rockets at civilians before you kill someone? Then Israel has to respond.

These weapons are not accurate enough to hit a soccer field. These rockets are simply aimed at Israel, and they often miss.

Define “pressure from the us”

They’ve shown very little concern for that so far.
Historically, Israel shows a lot of willingness to make disproportionate trades to get their hostages back. Like, they’ll release 100+ enemy hostages to get one of their own back.
Oh so that’s why they launched big rescue operations?
“Rescue” operations that killed scores of innocent civilians in order to retrieve a fraction of the hostages they’ve gotten via negotiations.
At least one of them even killed dozens of civilians to “rescue” the bodies of hostages they knew were dead in advance.
The Israeli PEOPLE might care about the hostages, but the fascist apartheid regime is only using them as a pretense for their myriad war crimes.

Hamas: We agree to the proposal
Israel: What proposal?
Israeli negotiators were not hopeful on Friday that the meeting in Rome would lead to a breakthrough and doubted that Biden’s pressure on Netanyahu had convinced the prime minister to soften some of his new tough demands in the updated Israeli proposal.
What pressure?
