No idea, not part of this topic if he is or not, the important thing is that despite your deflection he is attending and so discussions will take place

Not true, a hostage and prisoner exchange deal brokered by Qatar, Egypt the US and Israel has again just been refused by Hamas. That deal included a 6 week ceasefire.

There is on this forum though: 15. You will not discriminate or post slurs, degrading or overly negative comments on the basis of race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, nationality, disability, medical history, marriage, civil partnership, pregnancy, maternity, paternity, gender identity, sexual orientation or any other irrelevant factor.

Like a spoiled child, Israel is now throwing a tantrum turning against the US and refusing to send a delegation to discuss their widely condemned plan to invade heavily populated city of Rafah (A case of biting the hands that arms you). Israeli defence minister's US meetings go ahead As we've been reporting, Israel has cancelled a planned visit by a delegation to the US this week. But Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, who's already in Washington, will continue to hold meetings. From the US side, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin "is still planning to meet with Minister Gallant" on Tuesday, Pentagon spokesman Major General Pat Ryder said. Speaking in Washington after the UN Security Council vote, Gallant said: "We have no moral right to stop the war in Gaza until we return all the hostages to their homes."

Its also horrible to the hostages, Hamas could release them and have a ceasefire = no bombs, but they have just said no to the latest deal in Qatar.

Hamas, making it clear what they really think. Hamas tells mediators it’s ‘sticking to original position’ on demand for full ceasefire Palestinian terror group Hamas said Monday night that it informed mediators that it will stick to its original position on demanding a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, a return of displaced Palestinians and a “real” exchange of “prisoners” — demands Israel has already rejected as delusional multiple times. The Palestinian terror group’s statement came hours after the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and a release of hostages taken on October 7 https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-tells-mediators-its-sticking-to-original-position-on-demand-for-full-ceasefire/

Back on topic: Israel Has Created a New Standard for Urban Warfare. Why Will No One Admit It? | Opinion The Israel Defense Forces conducted an operation at al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip to root out Hamas terrorists recently, once again taking unique precautions as it entered the facility to protect the innocent; Israeli media reported that doctors accompanied the forces to help Palestinian patients if needed. They were also reported to be carrying food, water and medical supplies for the civilians inside. None of this meant anything to Israel's critics, of course, who immediately pounced. The critics, as usual, didn't call out Hamas for using protected facilities like hospitals for its military activity. Nor did they mention the efforts of the IDF to minimize civilian casualties. https://www.newsweek.com/israel-has-created-new-standard-urban-warfare-why-will-no-one-admit-it-opinion-1883286

Go to the new topic on the UN Resolutions where you will find it instead of derailing this topic https://aseannow.com/topic/1323270-unsc-passes-resolutions-‘an-immediate-ceasefire’-unconditional-release-of-hostages

Links to Reuters are permitted.

The statement by Hamas is over 3 hours old and the quote to it from Reuters was already posted over an hour ago in the appropriate topic.

I know what you posted and I responded. Its a forum and I also pointed out that the very point made in your post has already been posted in the appropriate topic

The UN resolution demanded Hamas to release hostage immediately with no pre conditions not with a prisoner exchange, they have ignored that bit. Its all in the topic anyway https://aseannow.com/topic/1323270-unsc-passes-resolutions-‘an-immediate-ceasefire’-unconditional-release-of-hostages

Nah...............

I was not responding to your post with link though was I and yes I do read links.

It was not in your post, I responded you forgot that bit, is that simple enough for you. Jeez talk about augmentative. To claim I was lying is false and inflammatory

Quote me where I said it was not in the link and that I was lying

I do not lie, can you tell me where I lied?

So you've got two posts on the same subject and a video. You do know there is a topic for this with all the details. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said the resolution "must be implemented" to secure a ceasefire and the "immediate and unconditional release of all hostages". UNSC passes resolutions ‘an immediate ceasefire’ 'unconditional release of hostages' In the Security Council vote on Monday, the US abstained, while the remaining 14 members voted in favour. The US had previously blocked resolutions calling for a ceasefire, saying such a move would be wrong while delicate negotiations for a truce and hostage releases were continuing between Israel and Hamas. https://aseannow.com/topic/1323270-unsc-passes-resolutions-‘an-immediate-ceasefire’-unconditional-release-of-hostages

It is not in your post. Here is your link, https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/25/us-un-resolution-cease-fire-row-with-israel-00148813

No joke, what would be funny about forgetting that? Are we going to argue about how funny things are now?

Where did I say you did. I did say

That said, the demand for the ceasefire is not contingent on the release of the hostages. The demand to release the hostages is also not contingent on a ceasefire, you forgot that bit

Perhaps he would rather discuss how it's stalemate and Ukraine is losing. Go on then, why don't you kick that off with me rather than talking about me in the third person?

LOL. What "daily events" are you referring to? So few posts on here about it that one wonders if it has ended already. You obviously don't read the daily updates posted diligently by @Mavideol and others. Why do you find that so funny? Is it because 2 years ago you thought this topic would not run for very long.
