Yay?

It was a terrible deal

This has to be a very bad joke.

Israel have instead issued evacuation orders for Eastern Rafah.

It won't happen, the Israelis want more blood. A lot more.

Bibi continues to insult America after we just gave him tens of billions.

Bibi should invade Rafah and fast. Time is running out.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

This is all the more reason to not attack Gaza.

Of course this isn’t really about Hamas or the hostages, it’s about reversing what Israel did in 2005 and going even further.

Well, Israel wouldn't have attacked Gaza, if Hamas hadn't decided to start a war on 10/7.

Palestine doesn't get immunity from the consequences of their attacks just because they're weak and vulnerable.  Being so terrible at protecting your own people that any war you start will inevitably result in lots of them dying is not the invincibility star from super mario bros.

So Palestinian civilians deserve to die because of Hamas?

If you look in the tweet replies, it seems like Ian Bremmer messed this up and he's digging in because that's what professional journalists on social media do these days.  Netanyahu was telling a story about what someone else said to him and Bremmer stripped it of context to make it sound like this was Netanyahu saying this.  Furthermore people are saying (I have no clue either way) that the Hebrew Bibi used actually refers to "the nations" rather than "the gentiles" and Bremmer apparently based his tweet solely on the YouTube translated transcript.

I mean, that's basically what happens in literally ever war started by a barbaric, sadistic government that is willing to sacrifice its people.

The best chance to avoid this catastrophe was a multi-national coalition to invade Gaza and depose Hamasd on day one. Sadly, that window has passed.

Yeah, and given that the context is about the Holocaust, it's absolutely right.

Israel can appreciate the aid it gets from its allies without ever allowing itself to fully rely on them. Remember that if Trump had gotten his way in the 2020 primary, it likely would have been Sanders choosing how to assist Israel during this war, potentially with Secretary of State Tlaib whispering in his ear.

That’s hardly any better. We don’t want a self sufficient Israel and their push for more options in the long run is a bad thing and only is happening because we have supplied them enough to the point they have the ability to think about such things.

If Bibi actually cared about Hamas and avoiding any catastrophe, he would have bombed their Qatar mansions out of orbit. But he's said - out loud - that there can be no election during a war. So he wants to prolong it, and his rule, as long and inefficiently as possible and doesn't care how many people get killed.
Bibi and Hamas have a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship.

I think that would have been a genuine red line for the Americans - for some reason, we have an overly close relationship with the absolute worst Emirate.

"The Hamas leadership says it has accepted the terms of a ceasefire deal in Gaza.

In a statement, the group says it has informed Qatari and Egyptian mediators of its decision.

The finer details are yet to be announced, including how long it will last and what this means for hostages being held in Gaza.

Stay tuned for live updates from us here in London, and analysis from our colleagues in Jerusalem."

The term "Righteous Among The Nations" is the translation of "Chasidei Umot HaOlam". If he used that last word, that's not the same as "goyim", the term used for "Gentiles".

Great news. Hamas only understands one thing and Israel delivers it. I'm all in favor of Israel giving them whatever temporary peace they want in exchange for the hostages, because Hamas will break the cease-fire eventually and Israel will be ready.

As the drone flies, it's a 1,760km journey from Ramon to Doha, most of it over Saudi airspace. The Saudis have some pretty capable air defence.

So too, does Qatar, being one of the richest places on Earth.

Saudi Arabia allegedly hates Qatar (even though they're just two sides of same the inbred blood money sportswashing Gulf monarchy coin.) For example Al Jazeera was already banned in SA before it was banned in Israel. They should help 'em out.

I guess this is Hamas framing the current state of affairs. "We accepted the ceasefire, so it's up to the other side whether fighting continues."

"Hamas official says 'ball now in Israel's court' after group has indicated it would accept the terms of a ceasefire plan.

In a statement published on its official website, Hamas says its leader Ismail Haniyeh conducted a telephone call with the prime minister of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and with the Egyptian intelligence minister, Abbas Kamel, and informed them of Hamas's approval of their proposal regarding a ceasefire agreement."

Well the Saudis and UAE were allegedly planning to invade Qatar in 2017 until Secretary of State Rex Tillerson found out about it from his oil buddies and squashed it, so yeah, I'd say "hates" is pretty accurate.
