Blinken says some of Hamas’ proposed changes to a cease-fire plan in Gaza are workable and some not
Speaking to reporters in Qatar on Wednesday, Blinken said the U.S. and other mediators will keep trying to “close this deal.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The American’s comments came as Lebanon’s Hezbollah fired a massive barrage of rockets into northern Israel to avenge the killing of a top commander, further escalating regional tensions.
Air raid sirens sounded across northern Israel, and the military said that about 160 projectiles were fired from southern Lebanon, making it one of the largest attacks since the fighting began.
Hamas spokesman Jihad Taha told the Lebanese news outlet ElNashra that the “amendments” requested by the group include guarantees of a permanent cease-fire and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
Netanyahu’s far-right coalition allies have rejected the latest proposal and have threatened to bring down his government if he ends the war leaving Hamas intact.
The official, who was not authorized to speak to media and spoke on condition of anonymity, said Abdullah had joined Hezbollah decades ago and took part in attacks against Israeli forces during their 18-year occupation of southern Lebanon that ended in May 2000.
Other groups allied with Iran, including powerful militias in Iraq and Syria, and the Houthi rebels in Yemen, have also attacked Israeli, U.S. and other targets since the start of the war, often drawing Western retaliation.

Weekly Biden gaslight complete.
Hope they change the script soon this is getting stale.
Usually terms that equate to “leave us alone so we can plan our next attack on you” would just be laughed at. But for some reason, since the other party is Israel, I guess they’re monsters if they don’t accept. Complete Hamas surrender or nothing. Gaza needs to be "dehamasafied" a la Berlin 1945
Oh no no, Israel are monsters whether they accept or not. You can't kill over 10k children and purposefully try to create a famine and get away without that label.

If you think the current conflict hasn't created more terrorists than it's killed you are not thinking empathetically. If a nearby state killed your whole family and destroyed your home because some authoritarian regime you never voted for pissed them off and you could do nothing about it, would you really be less likely to want to take up arms against them? Give me a break.
The only solution is peace. The only way to get true peace is to give Palestine a proper state and freedom from occupation. Dismantle illegal settlements. Immediately release "administrative detainees" held without charge (aka hostages). In short, give Palestinians the same respect and rights as everybody else. You cannot bomb this problem out of existence.
Well peace, until Hamas has gathered more strength and attacks Israel again, right? How many months of peace do you think it will be before they’re firing rockets into Israel again? How many peaceful months until they launch another terrorist attack and kill 1000+ and kidnap 250?
The only solution is the dehamasification of Gaza. An international coalition overseeing the process, similar to post-war Germany. Otherwise this back and forth will continue forever
Yes, things are different when the other party is equally genocidal and a thousand times more capable.
Right, and also America's closest ally in the region, and one of our closest allies in the entire world. Do you think we'll invade them to get them to stop? Apply sanctions?
Agreed
