Hamas will not engage with the latest US ceasefire proposal due to its deviation from President Joe Biden’s deal outline announced in May, sources close to the Palestinian movement told Middle East Eye.
It described the latest proposal as a “reversal” on previous US-backed plans and “an American submission to the terrorist Netanyahu’s new conditions and his criminal plans towards the Gaza Strip”.
The previous ceasefire plan was backed by Biden as “Israel’s proposal” and later adopted by the UN Security Council in June.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday said Netanyahu supports the latest American “bridging proposal” after meeting the prime minister in Israel. Blinken’s comments on Monday “baffled” some Israeli officials who believe Netanyahu’s new position is making a deal much harder to reach.
Iranian response soon?
It’s costing Biden millions to keep his Genocide defense fleet next to israel every single day. Iran is likely interested in stalling as long as possible to run up the costs.
Still, stalling maintains genocide. Hopefully Resistance comes swiftly.
True but it is a difficult dilemma.
Hezbollah is still launching rocket barrages at israel.
1/3 of the entire Genocide Joe fleet is currently waiting for an excuse for Netanyahu so they can bomb Iran.
Iran is also still developing nukes. Biden has already signaled he wants to start a big regional war when Iran retaliates against israel. So every day Iran waits to build up their supply gives them a military advantage.
Iran is also still developing nukes.
That’s the biggest part IMO, Iran wants to avoid an Iraq situation. Very different circumstances, but Iraq shows what happens if you are targeted by Empire but don’t have WMDs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_support_for_Iraq_during_the_Iran–Iraq_War they failed last time. what do you think has changed? also maybe it will bring about the same outcome for the Israeli leadership soooo…
Tech has changed and the US is in a different position globally, as a declining Imperial Power.
so youre saying theyd loose even harder? not like their records very good anyway :/
It’s not like the US can run out of money, so what does that actually accomplish?
Afghanistan begs to differ. The US army is a massive force but it can only be at a few places at once.
The ocean distance between America to anywhere else is its defensive safety net, but it also massively drives up the logistical cost of waging war half the world away.
Especially this prolonged aircraft carrier ship deployment is super expensive.
No, I mean, nations that print their own currency literally can’t run out of money.
The problem is they lose public support and then struggle to recruit people into the military, and yes, defending Israel is going to hurt recruitment. Young people hate Israel.
But money is kind of irrelevant.
Well yes but also no.
The trick only works as long as other nations accept the dollar as reserve currency. Which is currently accomplished by killing leaders who don’t.
That amazing level of diplomacy however has the world steadily turning against us to a point where many oil nations are already turning away from the dollar as currency.
As long as everyone does not collectively stand up to the bullying the printer can extract from the combined group of bullied countries. But America is starting to lose its position as infinite money printer. Fewer and fewer countries are in its grasp.
