You know how they can close the gaps? Hamas immediately releases all hostages and surrenders
US believes Israel, Hamas can close gaps on hostage deal
Israel and Hamas militants should be able to close the remaining gaps in their positions in order to reach a ceasefire-for-hostages deal in Gaza, the White House said on Tuesday.
“We believe that these gaps can be closed,” John Kirby, the White House national security spokesperson, told reporters as negotiators began gathering in Cairo for a fresh round of discussions.
Kirby said the Palestinian militant group Hamas had offered amendments on Monday to an original Israeli proposal aimed at ending the impasse.
The deal text, as amended, suggests the remaining gaps can “absolutely be closed,” he said.
Israeli forces’ seizure of the main border crossing between Egypt and southern Gaza raised fears that Israel might be beginning a much-feared incursion into Rafah.
The ceasefire as being proposed by Hamas as helped by the Biden regime is a 100% win for Hamas. It is essentially a permanent ceasefire which would allow Hamas to reconstitute and gain weapons, with Israel moving all forces out of Gaza. And Hamas essentially gives up nothing. Hamas basically just wins. Many of the hostages were killed. Hamas gets to stay in power. And they will then repeat another Oct 7 since they learned their strategy of hiding behind civilians works. Thus sending a message to terror orgs throughout the world that this will work for them too. So nobody but terrorists win.
Hamas tore up the previous proposal. There are no “gaps” between the two, this is the Grand Canyon.
Our esteemed host began:
That’s just it: all Hamas have left are the hostages, and they know it. Hamas do not believe that Israel would do anything other than hunt them all down and slaughter them if they released the surviving hostages, and I’d like to think that they are right about that.
How many Hamas guerrillas remain alive? Who even knows, though I would guess that the IDF have a pretty good guesstimate, and that number is a lot higher than the number of surviving hostages. More, any deal would entail the release of Hamas terrorists already held in Israeli jails, and I think that’s over a thousand of them.
Israel should not go for any ceasefire short of total victory: all Hamas fighters surrender, Israel keeps its terrorist prisoners, and the IDF hunt down all surviving Hamas fighters. Yes, that would almost certainly mean that most or all of the surviving hostages would be killed, but are those 40(?) hostages worth allowing Hamas to survive?
More, Mossad needs to hunt down all of the Hamas leaders hiding in Qatar and Lebanon and Syria, and capture or kill them.
This is a war, and the only way to win a war is to kill your enemies.
Biden Regime Thinks…
Yeah right! Since when?
