Speaking to ABC News on Sunday morning, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US had "every expectation" that Israel would "say yes" to the proposed ceasefire deal if Hamas accepts.

"We're waiting for an official response from Hamas," he said, adding that the US hopes that both sides agree to start the first phase of the plan "as soon as possible".

During that initial six-week pause in the fighting, Mr Kirby said the "two sides would sit down and try to negotiate what phase two could look like, and when that could begin".

Didn't Netanyahu say just the other day that there'd be no ceasefire until his war goals in Palestine had been achieved?

[-] Vorticity@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

And said it would be a minimum of nine months IIRC...

He initially agreed before Biden took the ceasefire public, then he backpedaled as you mentioned. He then agreed the following day.

Hamas proposed a permanent ceasefire in place of this agreement, and Israel declined. Now we’re back to waiting on Hamas to accept the temporary three-phase ceasefire with open negotiations for permanence.

It’s been tough to keep up on the order of events with news sources releasing articles at different times.

Bet?

What's different this time?

[-] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 12 points 6 months ago

Yup. I'll believe it when I see Netanyahu's signature on it.

[-] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

Bibi's word ain't shit. Even if he signs, I'm sure he'll still have "tactical" responses. Probably in and around aid. Or start shit in Lebanon and the West Bank.

I’d believe if they lock him up and convict the genocidal maniac for being a massive piece of shit,

[-] febra@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Just for the next far-right shithead to take power in Israel.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

One shit head at a time, unfortunately.

They’ll have leveled the entirety of Raffah, so now most/all of Gaza is almost uninhabitable. “I mean, we gonna bomb the rubble? Sure we’ll sign a cease fire. It never stopped us before”

We expect them to accept their own plan? Dude, fuck Israel at this point. This shouldn't be newsworthy, and yet it is, because of course there's a good chance they would reject their own plan in order to keep killing women and children.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I'm gonna take any judgment on Israel from the same administration that keeps insisting that they're not committing genocide with about this much salt:

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago

To borrow a phrase… “Oh you sweet summer child…”

[-] retrospectology@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

The "pause" bullshit basically just means the genocide will continue after the hostages are handed over.

Amazing that Israel hasn't yet slaked their thirst for palestinian children's blood yet. Absolute insanity.

[-] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Israel should never again be anything but a pariah state.

This feels like a fuckin merry-go-round. And everyone knows how it’s going to turn out. The US and/or Hamas will roughly agree on something that could lead to a truce, and then Bibi will throw it out the window for some made-up reason, or just because he’s feeling obstinate on that particular Tuesday.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

Fuck Israel.
