US has 'every expectation' Israel will expect ceasefire proposal
www.bbc.com
The White House believes Hamas has been weakened to a point that it cannot repeat the 7 October attack.

Speaking to ABC News on Sunday morning, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US had “every expectation” that Israel would “say yes” to the proposed ceasefire deal if Hamas accepts.

“We’re waiting for an official response from Hamas,” he said, adding that the US hopes that both sides agree to start the first phase of the plan “as soon as possible”.

During that initial six-week pause in the fighting, Mr Kirby said the “two sides would sit down and try to negotiate what phase two could look like, and when that could begin”.

    Didn’t Netanyahu say just the other day that there’d be no ceasefire until his war goals in Palestine had been achieved?

    This feels like a fuckin merry-go-round. And everyone knows how it’s going to turn out. The US and/or Hamas will roughly agree on something that could lead to a truce, and then Bibi will throw it out the window for some made-up reason, or just because he’s feeling obstinate on that particular Tuesday.

    The “pause” bullshit basically just means the genocide will continue after the hostages are handed over.

    Amazing that Israel hasn’t yet slaked their thirst for palestinian children’s blood yet. Absolute insanity.
