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.

    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.
