A 6-week ceasefire means fire resumes after 6 weeks. yes if the second stage of the deal broke down, which was an extension for more hostages and prisoners to be released. The first stage and first 6 weeks was for 40 hostages, other stages and ceasefires were then to be discussed. What is it you are not getting about this, you were wrong, Israel is very open to a ceasefire. It is also committed to finishing the job

And even if they do put it on hold for 6 weeks, that doesn't change anything. Yes it changes everything, it makes your statement untrue as there will be a ceasefire. They do not call it putting it on hold, they call it a ceasefire. The UN resolution ceasefire was till the end of Ramadan, around two weeks. However still a ceasefire.

The US ambassador to the UN said the Security Council's resolution on a ceasefire in Gaza is "non-binding" and that a ceasefire will not happen without the “release of hostages”, after abstaining. https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1772500272805191829

You said: Netanyahu will not respect his part of any deal on a ceasefire and openly says it. From 24 March: That's why I responded with not true, as it is not true............. Rafah has nothing to do with the hostage and prisoner exchange talks in Qatar. A 6 week ceasefire was on the table although apparently that's just been refused by Hamas again since the UN resolutions

So none of this is true then? Mentioned in the OP https://david-collier.com/bbc-verify/

Can you link to where he is refusing a ceasefire as part of the current hostage deal talks in Qatar?

Yes thanks, its in the other topic post here

I told you before I don't care what you think, I do care what professionals think.

This topic is nothing to do with Yoav Gallant wanting to be PM or not and the post I made was confirmation that the meeting to discuss Rafah will still go ahead in Washington which directly updates the post from Danny Australia. Enough of the lame deflection

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.

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.

The Hamas war crimes continue https://twitter.com/LTCPeterLerner/status/1772373409982296379

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
