CAIRO, June 11 (Reuters) - Hamas accepts a UN Security Council ceasefire resolution and is ready to negotiate over the details, senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters on Tuesday, adding that it was up to Washington to ensure that Israel abides by it.

Hamas accepts the UN security council resolution in regard to the ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli troops and swap of hostages for detainees held by Israel, he said.

"The U.S. administration is facing a real test to carry out its commitments in compelling the occupation to immediately end the war in an implementation of the UN Security Council resolution," Abu Zuhri said.

Not to sound cynical but I have a hard time believing Netanyahu will accept the agreement. Israel is not generally negotiating in good faith.

They got their PR win of 4 rescued hostages using big strong tough guy methods instead of boring weak cuck negotiations. They might feel freeer to negotiate now that a few hardliners got to raw raw raw.

I guess annihilating hundreds of innocent civilians along with two other Israeli hostages is collateral damage for this “victory”?

I hope you’re right but I doubt it.

Guess it depends on if Israel actually follows through

Israel vows to press on in Gaza after UN Security Council approves ceasefire proposal

I suppose that’s the answer to your question.

From the article:

Israel has vowed to persist with its military operation in Gaza, saying it won’t engage in “meaningless” negotiations with Hamas, shortly after the United Nations Security Council overwhelmingly approved a US-backed ceasefire plan intended to bring an end to the eight-month war.

The senior diplomat said the war would not end until all hostages were returned and Hamas’ capabilities were “dismantled,” accusing the Palestinian militant group of using “endless negotiations… as a means to stall for time.”

There's conflicting narratives coming out of Israel again. It's fully possible they tank this, but I wouldn't take those comments from the UN rep as a rejection of this deal (yet).

It's pretty amazing Biden wants to keep doing the same dance for a month straight where israel supposedly accepts a deal but then instantly walks it back the moment Hamas accepts.

What would you like him to do?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Invoke Leahy law like he is obliged to and cut off all weapons exports to israel because israel is committing war crimes.

Or at least stop bringing up the same deal every single week followed by israel rejecting it and him doing nothing about it.

We're negotiating with Hamas?

We're negotiating with Israel?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We've been allied with Israel for 60 years. Bibi is fucking that up and needs to go. I'm not sure that being the mediator between a powermonger and a terrorist organization is the right answer. I don't know what the right answer is. How many Americans are still there and what should we do to get them home?

In it's current form, israel is a terrorist state.

Yes. Diplomacy is good. War is bad. Killing civilians is bad. Abducting people is bad. But diplomacy is good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Yes, just like when someone take hostages in a bank, you don't kill the abducter and the hostages with him
