Biden cease-fire push falters again after new demand by Hamas
The president’s goal of halting the hostilities in Gaza, at least temporarily, before he leaves office appears even further out of reach.

A long article, I'm not going to bother posting it.

One thing is very obvious, everyone is blaming everyone.
While the war rages and people die and politicians attempt to reach a peace agreement, the failure of America to halt arms sales and financial support to Israel is the main problem, which Israel and America continue to conveniently ignore.
The biggest issue against a peace agreement is the Western weapons supply, but no one wants to talk or deal with it.
Btw, the UK is also guilty of supplying weapons to Israel which are used against Gaza.

Biden and Kamala and UK will continue to deliver weapons, Hamas will continue to resist, very simple.
The West are very good at hypocrisy and burying head in sand.
The West are experts at bullshit.

Just like the previous dozen attempts -- the effort for a cease-fire is futile.

Hamas does not want a cease-fire, peace or a two state solution -- they have stated this multiple times.

Hence Hamas keeps moving the goal posts -- it's a deliberate strategy to scupper any agreement and play for time.

No one wants a cease fire, it's all a scam.
Bibi doesn't want one, he'll lose his position in power.
Hamas don't want one because that will signal defeat and capitulation to Israel and America.
Biden and Blinken only want a cease fire if it 's advantageous to Israel Zionists.
The rest of Middle East probably don't want a cease fire because attention will divert off Gaza onto them, the whole place is a bed of scullduggery which Biden thought he and his jewish god could handle with ease.
Jewish lobbyists don't want a cease fire because it may put an end to their land theft, besides they like killing Palestinians.

Data from the Gaza Strip, the north and West Bank

Since the outset of the war, some 17,000 Hamas terrorists have been eliminated in Gaza, with the IDF striking approximately 38,000 Hamas military targets throughout Gaza. According to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, which does not draw distinctions between the deaths of civilians and combatants, some 41,000 Palestinians have been killed, and almost 95,000 have been wounded since October 7.

On the northern front, 50 Israelis have been killed, of which 24 were soldiers.

Over 68,000 Israelis have been evacuated from 43 northern communities, and according to the report, some 100,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in Lebanon.

The report also detailed the occurrences in the West Bank. According to the INSS, since the onset of the war, 4,973 terror attacks have occurred in the West Bank, killing 38 Israelis, 12 of whom were soldiers and three were police officers.

In addition, 285 Israelis were wounded in these terror attacks.

Nearly 700 Palestinians have been killed throughout the West Bank since the beginning of the war, according to the report, citing the Palestinian health ministry.

Some 4,400 Palestinians were arrested, among whom 1,850 were Hamas terrorists, representing a 114% increase in the number of Palestinian prisoners imprisoned in Israeli jails compared with the numbers in July of 2022.

Also, in the West Bank, since the beginning of the war, there have been 1,407 incidents of violence between Palestinians and settlers, with the largest number of such incidents, 300, occurring in October of last year.

So did the Hamas Health Ministry tell us how many of these people were militants. Get back to us when they do.

Also recognize that 1/3 of Hamas militants are children under the age of 18.

At this point it is obvious that attempting to create a ceasefire is a futile effort; nether side wants it. Just let Israel finish the job of dismantling Hamas and eliminating its leaders including Sinwar. The sooner this is done, the better. After this, there can be conversations around re-building, peace and a two-state solution.

Israeli hostage negotiator: 'Hamas is killing hostages in Gaza as we negotiate'
Hirsch also noted that the war will not end under pressure. “There is a direct correlation between the international pressure on Israel and Hamas' desire to negotiate."
https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-819272

Israel’s chief negotiator for hostages and missing persons warned during the MEAD Conference in Washington that Hamas is murdering hostages in Gaza even as international mediation efforts continue.

“There is a direct link between international pressure on Israel and Hamas' willingness to negotiate,” Gal Hirsch, Israel's chief negotiator for hostages and missing persons, said in an interview on the main stage of the MEAD Conference, held in Washington, DC. “While our negotiating team is in Doha, Hamas continues to kill hostages in Gaza. The military pressure will not stop.”

Hirsch, speaking with Israel Hayom political commentator Ariel Kahana, discussed the complex dynamics of negotiations with Hamas. He expressed frustration with what he described as a false narrative that Israel is obstructing a deal. “Unfortunately, many have embraced the narrative pushed by Hamas — that we are the ones blocking the deal. This is false. We have never canceled any deal that was on the table. It simply hasn't happened,” Hirsch said.

Hirsch emphasized that Hamas’ key demand, to halt the ongoing conflict, is not a viable option until all hostages are returned, Gaza is demilitarized, and its leadership is decentralized. “Hamas is holding on to its only remaining asset — 101 hostages,” Hirsch stated. “The war could end tomorrow, and I believe Gaza could be rebuilt, and I’m sure those concerned about Gaza’s situation would support this.”

Despite the challenges, Hirsch remains committed to securing the hostages' release. “I believe we need to act to free all the hostages, and I am pursuing every possible avenue to achieve that goal. We are waiting for the final proposal from the mediators and the United States. At the same time, our teams are working on alternative plans B, C, and D.”

Hirsch also noted that the war will not end under pressure. “There is a direct correlation between the international pressure on Israel and Hamas' desire to negotiate. When Israel is under pressure from its allies and other nations, Hamas feels it has achieved much without negotiating and recognizes the hostages as its most valuable asset right now.”

Details of the conference
The MEAD Conference is a global, apolitical event held for the first time this year in Washington, DC. It serves as a platform for strategic dialogue between the Middle East and the United States. Conference presidents Tom Nides, David Friedman, Dennis Ross, and Elliott Abrams are hosting a series of in-depth geopolitical discussions addressing the region’s evolving dynamics. Senior leaders from the US, Israel, and moderate Arab countries, along with experts in security, economics, diplomacy, and academia, are participating in these discussions.

Biden puts pressure on Bibi to leave and leftist in Israel rally 300,000 to get Bibi to withdraw immediately

Why would Hamas make any deal...They kill hostages and they get support that helps their objectives
