Middle East Crisis: Blinken Calls Some Hamas Changes to Cease-Fire Proposal Unacceptable

The secretary of state said the U.S. would keep pushing Israel and Hamas ‘on an urgent basis’ to reach a deal.

Speaking at a news conference in Doha, Qatar, alongside Qatar’s prime minister and minister of foreign affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Mr. Blinken said that “a deal was on the table that was virtually identical” to one that Hamas put forward on May 6.

At some point, he said, “you have to question whether they’re proceeding in good faith or not.”

    Yes, the response to Israel doing something is indeed always more severe than when any other country does it.

    This is you doing the bad faith thing again. You knew what I meant. I can back it up with facts. But instead you don’t engage with something that you can’t back up, and just ignore the point I’m making.

    There is not a single country on this planet which would tolerate an organization like Hamas remaining in power after an event like Oct 7.

    Too bad the IDF is really just an air force that hasn’t yet learned the lesson that an air force can’t hold territory, and the only strategy they have is bombing civilians when the militants absolutely own most of the engagements they get into with the conscript army.

    In other words, Israel has to learn to live with Hamas, because they can’t handle them any way other then through genocide.

    Also, you don’t make peace with your friends. You make peace with your enemies. That is why it is called making peace, and why it is hard.
