CAIRO, June 11 (Reuters) - Hamas accepts a UN Security Council ceasefire resolution and is ready to negotiate over the details, senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters on Tuesday, adding that it was up to Washington to ensure that Israel abides by it.

Hamas accepts the UN security council resolution in regard to the ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli troops and swap of hostages for detainees held by Israel, he said.

"The U.S. administration is facing a real test to carry out its commitments in compelling the occupation to immediately end the war in an implementation of the UN Security Council resolution," Abu Zuhri said.

Not to sound cynical but I have a hard time believing Netanyahu will accept the agreement. Israel is not generally negotiating in good faith.

They got their PR win of 4 rescued hostages using big strong tough guy methods instead of boring weak cuck negotiations. They might feel freeer to negotiate now that a few hardliners got to raw raw raw.

I guess annihilating hundreds of innocent civilians along with two other Israeli hostages is collateral damage for this “victory”?

I hope you’re right but I doubt it.

Guess it depends on if Israel actually follows through

Israel vows to press on in Gaza after UN Security Council approves ceasefire proposal

I suppose that’s the answer to your question.

From the article:

Israel has vowed to persist with its military operation in Gaza, saying it won’t engage in “meaningless” negotiations with Hamas, shortly after the United Nations Security Council overwhelmingly approved a US-backed ceasefire plan intended to bring an end to the eight-month war.

The senior diplomat said the war would not end until all hostages were returned and Hamas’ capabilities were “dismantled,” accusing the Palestinian militant group of using “endless negotiations… as a means to stall for time.”

There's conflicting narratives coming out of Israel again. It's fully possible they tank this, but I wouldn't take those comments from the UN rep as a rejection of this deal (yet).

From the same article, so which is it?

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is on a diplomatic trip to the Middle East, said Tuesday that in a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the Israeli leader “reaffirmed his commitment” to the current proposal to secure a ceasefire and hostage release, which is still awaiting an answer from Hamas. Yahya Sinwar attends a rally in support of Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque in Gaza City on October 1, 2022.

Blinken said that he got an explicit assurance from Netanyahu that he continues to support the deal, and will accept it if Hamas agrees to what is on the table.

Netanyahu has repeatedly and publicly said that his country will press on with the war in Gaza until Hamas is destroyed and the hostages are freed.

But an Israeli statement on Tuesday indicated it was poised to formally sign up to the current ceasefire plan for Gaza, while at the same time maintaining the freedom to keep fighting.

Sounds like leadership that can't lead and is simply trying to cater for internal needs while maintaining some form of power.

"Yes Mr right wing, we'll kill them all"

" Yes Mr left wing we'll agree to a ceasefire"
