This is the best summary I could come up with:
Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted on Hamas’s destruction as part of an Israeli plan presented by the US president, Joe Biden, to end the Gaza war.
I welcome @POTUS Biden’s initiative & encourage all parties to seize this opportunity for a ceasefire, release of all hostages, guaranteed unhindered humanitarian access & ultimately a durable peace in the Middle East.”
The German foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, said the Israeli offer “provides a glimpse of hope and a possible path out of the war’s deadlock”, and the EU chief, Ursula von der Leyen, welcomed a “balanced and realistic” approach to end the bloodshed.
Israel sent tanks and troops into Rafah in May, ignoring concerns over the safety of displaced Palestinian civilians sheltering in the city on the Egyptian border.
“There are a number of occupation [Israeli] snipers in high-rise buildings overseeing all areas of Tal al-Sultan … making the situation very dangerous.”
The Israeli seizure of the Rafah crossing has further slowed sporadic deliveries of aid for Gaza’s 2.4 million people and in effect shuttered the territory’s main exit point.
The original article contains 661 words, the summary contains 177 words. Saved 73%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Lets hope Hamas don’t start immigrating! Imagine Israel trying to catch them inside London, or Paris during the Olympics! So many innocent, but necessary lives would be sacrificed!
Many of them are already outside of Gaza’s borders in Syria, Lebanon, etc. Is Israel going to start invading them?
I meant this time around.
Isnt that exactly what Hamas said???
How long will we let this butter battle book go on?
If he wants to destroy Hamas, what’s the plan for someone else to take over after Hamas? Oh right, there is no plan for that. Whenever this war ends, Hamas will still be there and more powerful than ever, because that’s exactly the strategy that is Israel is (wittingly or unwittingly) following.
I’m under the impression that it’s pretty evident that Israel is doing a land grab. They’ve been doing it since 1967.
So he said out loud that he won’t accept anything but a Final Solution?
Do you think all Palestinians are Hamas?
Seems racist to me.
Dude, chill. I’m on your side.
I think eliminating all of Hamas is a practical impossibility without eliminating essentially all Palestinians, because Israel has shown us again and again that it’s unable or unwilling to to fight Hamas without killing any civilians who happen to be near them. And even if that were not the case, I think Netanyahu would gladly kill every last Palestinian under the pretense of eliminating Hamas.
The Israeli government conveniently thinks exactly that.
I mean he is killing them indiscriminately defending it as hamas
And they assume that the only way to destruct Hamas is killing each and everyone living there.
It’s a shame their definition of Hamas includes all Palestinians.

Because those went well. Big success story.
Vietnam
Al Qaida
Even the US COVID response…
All were stopped eventually because the US government got bored and wanted to do something else. No winners. Only losers.
Do take note that Biden’s proposal from yesterday was supposedly drafted at Netanyahu’s cabinet, according to the US government itself. Netanyahu now opposes their own initiative because he’s decided it’s not convenient for him to end the war just yet. This isn’t some sort of principled attempt to paint himself as the protector of Israel, but a pathetic excuse of a man willing to sacrifice more lives for his own self interest.
This is Netanyahu playing Biden like a fiddle.
Biden’s proposal from yesterday was supposedly drafted at Netanyahu’s cabinet, according to the US government itself.
Source on that? It’s interesting that you say “supposedly…according to the US government itself.” If the government says something, usually it’s easily verifiable.
I can’t find the source for that specific point, but there was an Israeli draft for a truce proposal moving around a little bit earlier:
https://www.arabnews.com/node/2491001/middle-east
And some political commentators were interpreting Biden’s move as a means to lock the Israeli government in this position before they changed their mind again
Yeah but they’re arab lives, so they don’t count them.
Biden was lying. He thought that he could pressure Netanyahu to agree, but since so far Israel continued to receive almost full support from the US despite all public talking, Netanyahu knows that Biden is his lapdog.
Biden has been and wants to continue to support Netanyahu and the genocide. It is only now that he starts fearing people to be fed up with genocide Joe, that he needs to do something about it. But he completely underestimates that the people aren’t stupid and they have learned so much about the reality of Israel and the US that just building a Pier for aid that didnt deliver more than one shipment doesn’t cut it. Biden is an old man that is unable to face new realities and understand that people don’t perceive the world along his entrenched convictions. He said it himself. He is a Zionist and he wants to always support Zionism. He just struggles to understand why progressive Americans are not fine with mass murder of brown people anymore.
He thought that he could pressure Netanyahu to agree
Biden has been and wants to continue to support Netanyahu and the genocide.
At least pick a goddamn story that makes sense. This is insulting.
It can be a little bit of both. There’s plenty of evidence for either.
He wants a Netanyahu to agree to a temporary ceasefire to get some breathing room for his election campaign. He wants things to continue afterwards, when managed to distract people from the topic.
How is that so complicated to understand? It is the same kind of stunt like with the holding back one shipment of bombs and then delivering $ 17,000,000,000 more of weapons to Israel to continue the slaughter.
Notice his gaslighting:
he’s actively warring to destroy as much of the Palestinian population as possible, & eradicate them from their lands,
& he puts this forward as the real problem, or the key to solution…
Misdirection
must be nice. you fund and create hamas to stop the pro peace PLO so that you can use their existence to perpetrate endless war
epecially when the palestinian authority warned you that calling an election would result in the ascension of hamas to power and israel and the us insisted on the election anyway.
create hamas
That’s not how it works.
I’m afraid at this point it’s obvious it’s the other way around, and there is no end to the Gaza war until Israel is dismantled, its leaders are given the Gaddafi treatment, its settlers are hung and Palestine is restored.
That’s what the Arab league has been saying for 70 years, people are finally listening to muslims now it seams
Weekly Genocide Joe gaslight complete.
We are reading the same story every week now.
Hamas accepts a permanent ceasefire and Israel refuses. They should change up the script a bit.
You forgot where Biden tries to say him and Israel have a path to peace but it’s Hamas who won’t work with them…
And within 24 hrs Bibi clarifying he only wants a “final solution” where none of his “enemies” are left alive, so no one should listen to Biden.
I’m pretty sure we’re on double digit laps by now.
I just don’t understand why Biden at this point is still saying shit, knowing Israel is going to immediately say the quiet part out loud again.
It’s not.just that Biden won’t stop funding this genocide, apparently him and his admin are the dumbest people ever. Even if they know what they’re saying is bullshit, they always forget Israel will just say shit like this that blows up trying to blame it on anyone else.
Don’t forget the israel shills talking about releasing the hostages to “end all this”
Wasn’t there already a permanent ceasefire that Hamas broke?
My understanding is that there has not been a ceasefire for a very long time. But I might be wrong if so please correct me.
Israel broke it actually. They bombed Gaza. Israel loves to do shit and then claim it doesn’t break the cease fire for some reason.
Was there even a ceasefire to begin with?
Hamas has been shooting rockets at Israel for years, and Israel has been bombing Hamas as well.
I would argue that with Israel’s approach to the Palestinians there can never be a true cease fire. Colonial Settler violence is all about maintaining an image of propriety while abusing the local group. While it may appear that it’s just rockets and bombing missions, there’s state sanctioned gangs that regularly attack Palestinians, the state police routinely kidnap Palestinians, and they kick Palestinians off of land and use the Army to prevent them from returning. Those aren’t actions of a state trying to maintain a cease fire in good faith.
To be clear, this is on the right wing Netanyahu government, not all of Israel. There is protests in Israel about this right now : https://news.sky.com/story/huge-protests-call-on-israeli-pm-benjamin-netanyahu-to-approve-us-ceasefire-deal-and-release-hostages-13146730
It’s only possible to eliminate Hamas if Israel pushes out or kills everyone in Gaza.
Isn’t that what they’re doing already? They don’t differentiate between Palestinians and HAMAS anymore.
Never did.
