‘Time for this war to end’: Biden tells Hamas to accept Israel’s hostage-ceasefire offer

Declaring that it is “time for this war to end,” US President Joe Biden gave a high-stakes speech Friday, presenting what he said was the latest Israeli proposal for a hostage deal and ceasefire to end the Israel-Hamas war, and calling on the terror group to accept the offer.

The Israeli proposal was submitted on Thursday to Hamas via Qatar, Biden revealed, saying the offer would “bring all the hostages home, ensure Israel’s security, create a better day after in Gaza without Hamas in power, and set the stage for a political settlement that provides a better future for Israelis and Palestinians alike.”

Biden laid out the details of three phases, with particular emphasis on the first six-week phase, which was largely similar to the framework that was discussed in previous rounds of negotiations but included new conditions detailed by the president for the first time.

Hamas welcomed US President Joe Biden’s call on Friday for Israel and the group to agree to a three-phased hostage deal leading to a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

“The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas views positively what was included in US President Joe Biden’s speech today,” the group said in a statement.

On Friday, Biden called on Israel and Hamas to accept a three-phase deal which includes the release of hostages in Gaza, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the enclave, a permanent ceasefire, and an exchange of prisoners.

Why do you say Zionists? Why not just say Jews? 

 Because not all Jews are Zionists?

So you prefer a media outlet that supports Hamas and employs them to spread their lies.

No, not at all, read and inwardly digest what I wrote.

Just curious why you singled them out of the many other news media sites.

To be totally honest I don't trust the majority of news media sites, especially where it's all about profits, kowtowing to owners etc etc, countries/states from whatever side only wanting their point of view published with no corroborating evidence from independent sources.

Did I post a link or quote anything from The Times of Israel? 

No you didn't, but you called into question AJ and I said I felt the same about The Times of Israel, what's your point?

   Jews "Judaizing " Jerusalem ?

As Al-Quds /Jerusalem was 100 % Jewish before Muslims took over the land , it could be said that Jews are taking Al-Quds back from the Muslim invaders 

Caring is sharing.

Nonsense, things will never be the same, fact! No matter how much you try and twist the truth.

I agree with you on that, Israel lost the popularity vote there big time.

New data shared with TIME from the business intelligence company Morning Consult shows that support for Israel around the world has dropped significantly since the war in Gaza began.

Net favorability—the percentage of people viewing Israel positively after subtracting the percentage viewing it negatively—dropped globally by an average of 18.5 percentage points between September and December, decreasing in 42 out of the 43 countries polled.

How can anything ever be the same, what a silly remark

 

You are joking of course, as you and others on here frequently say no war before 7/10 but as soon as I say great idea, as in release all the hostages in Gaza, then ask the question of what happens next if it did happen, go back to the status quo of before 7/10 then I'm being silly, give us a break.

“Hamas has been holding our hostages in Rafah, which is why our forces are operating in Rafah"

Want the war to end?
Tell Hamas to free the Hostages and surrender.

 

Great idea, but what then go back to the same situation as before 7/10, or will we see something else?

Israel is not and never has held hostages that have been raped and abused, children, babies in dark tunnels in Rafah. Your link is also off topic, all bar two are from well before Oct 7th, the last two were impossible to comply with as Hamas refused to release hostages.

Maybe not in Rafah but then we'll never know because of a lack of International free press present.

Plenty of evidence at the Sede Teman facility in Israel though.

A CNN investigation has uncovered the horrors of a shadowy detention facility where Palestinian prisoners are blindfolded, handcuffed and forced to wear dirty diapers. Watch Matthew Chance’s full report.

I'm preying for the Vogon Constructor Fleet to turn up and give us all 24 hours to vacate the planet.

We had the chance of a Labour government that would have done that and a lot more in 2017 but for the dummies on the right of the Labour party sabotaging the best result since 2001 and the biggest increase in vote share in a single general election since 1945.

How different the Covid debacle and Brexit would have been for the U.K. under a Corbyn government rather than with the Tories under Boris.

We will never know but if you're under the impression Boris and co did a great job during Covid good for you, I'm not willing to get into an argument/debate over it, on the basis that if the Labour party had prior to 2017 all been behind a left/centre manifesto things could have been very different. So much so that the establishment are still bringing trying to bring Corbyn into this election against Starmer, it scared them so much, the masses getting behind a honest genuine politician.

That will be Starmer's problem this election, the left of the Labour party has left to the Greens and Independents amounting to about 200,000 paying members, not only a monetary problem but also a large part of the canvassing side of the party.

As for Brexit, that was the problem for the 2019 election, biggest mistake imho the U.K. has ever made in recent history, that cat will be kicked down the road forever.

First time in 50 years I've not voted, can't say I'm bothered who gets in Tory Light or just plain Tory, both a load of chancers.

Not sure how you reached that conclusion 😃.

I saw nothing in the article to suggest he agrees with Corbyn's policies. Seems unlikely that as a Jew he would be a fan of someone who has friends in Hamas. 

 

He clearly dislikes Starmer though. 

On 5/24/2024 at 6:22 PM, JonnyF said:

We've established he doesn't like Starmer but where does it say he's a Corbyn supporter?

 

I doubt a Jew is a fan of a known anti semitic hamas friend like Corbyn.

On 5/25/2024 at 9:25 AM, JonnyF said:

 

So he is claiming he thinks Corbyn is not an anti semite. That does not mean he supports him, neither does it make me a corbynite as claimed.

 

I wonder how he feels about Corbyns ex mistress Abbott and her claims that being Jewish is like being teased about being ginger?

I think you need to have a read of this:  

Membership and registered supporters

A graph showing Labour Party individual membership, excluding affiliated members and supporters.
As of 31 December 2010, under Leader Ed Miliband, individual membership of the party was 193,261; a historical low for the Party since the 1930s.[236] Membership remained relatively unchanged in the following years.[236][237][238] In August 2015, prior to the 2015 leadership election, the Labour Party reported 292,505 full members, 147,134 affiliated supporters (mostly from affiliated trade unions and socialist societies) and 110,827 registered supporters; a total of about 550,000 members and supporters.[239][240]

Following the election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader, individual membership almost doubled to 388,262 in December 2015;[238] and rose significantly again the following year to 543,645 in December 2016.[241] As of December 2017, the party had 564,443 full members,[242] a peak since 1980 making it the largest political party in Western Europe.[243][244] Consequently, membership fees became the largest component of the party's income, overtaking trade unions donations which were previously of most financial importance, making Labour the most financially well-off British political party in 2017.[245] As of December 2019, the party had 532,046 full members.[246]

In the 2020 leadership election 490,731 people voted, of which 401,564 (81.8%) were members, 76,161 (15.5%) had affiliated membership and 13,006 (2.6%) were registered supporters. The registered supporter class was abolished in 2021.[247] By July 2023, the party's membership was reported to have fallen to 399,195 members.[248] In March 2024, it was reported that the Labour Party's membership had fallen to 366,604.[5]

Nice to see the ICJ Order of last week being ignored as usual.

At least 35 people were killed in an Israeli strike in Rafah on Sunday, the Gaza health ministry said. The strike hit a camp for displaced people, according to Gaza authorities. The IDF claimed it struck a Hamas compound in the area, killing two senior officials from the militant group.
Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and parts of central Israel on Sunday after rockets were fired at the city for the first time in months, according to the Israeli military. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack.
