A permanent ceasefire, withdrawal of all IDF troops from Gaza, an exchange of all hostages and prisoners, and a commitment to sit down and create an agreement for a two-state solution would be parity.

And Hamas is not going to release the hostages without a ceasefire. And I believe the longer the ceasefire, the more hostages will be released, but not ALL the hostages will be released until there is a PERMANENT ceasefire and withdrawal of the IDF.

An immediate release of all hostages should be conditional on an exchange for all prisoners, and the ceasefire should be permanent and include a withdrawal of all IDF troops.

They are well worth repeating. I think when all this is done, you'll find out my recommendations will be the ones that are finally enacted.

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

 

I did not say he would refuse a ceasefire during the talks, I said that he would go into Rafah no matter what, as he repeatedly claims so himself.

 

Again, he reiterated on Sunday that Israel "will enter Rafah and achieve total victory".

   Why is it worth repeating ?

Do you think that if you keep saying the same thing over and over again, then other people will then agree with you ?

   You just need to say it once , its not a competition to see what can say the same thing the most times .

   You don't convince people by keeping on saying the same thing over and over again

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

Yes! Netanyahu is likely to agree to a ceasefire in exchange for hostages, and then after he gets all the hostages, he proceeds to go into Rafah.

It is worth repeating because other proposal versions, like the current UN one, are continually put up. They contain different conditions. Repeating these is like tapping you on the shoulder and reminding you that these are the conditions that need to be in the proposal, not any new combination of conditions.

   I will be honest with you , your proposal wouldn't be acceptable to either side .

You may as well get on a live internet call with USA, Hamas , Netanyahu and the ICJ and get a guitar out and give them a rendition of John Lennons "Imagine" .

Going into Rafah means no ceasefire. 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.

A 6-week ceasefire means fire resumes after 6 weeks.

 

We don't know whether there will be a ceasefire or not, what we do know is that part of the proposed deal includes a 6-week ceasefire and that Netabyahu repeadely stated he will go into Rafah no matter what, even if he loses the support of the US.

Yes, at first, a really good proposal is not acceptable to either side because it requires both sides to compromise on their demands. That's what negotiations are all about.

I do play the guitar, but I just looked up the chords to John Lennon's "Imagine," and they are too complex for me. The three most accomplished pieces I play are "California Dreaming," "Rebel, Rebel," and "Third-Rate Romance," all of which might be appropriate when presenting my proposal.

A 6-week ceasefire means fire resumes after 6 weeks. :clap2: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

Wrong. A 6-week ceasefire means the guarantee there will be no attacks for 6 weeks. It says nothing about the time after.

If the terrorists would set free their hostages and would surrender, there would be no need to start the war again.

But as we know, they prefere to spit on their own people and hide behind them.

Wrong. After six weeks and the return of all hostages, the need to start (continue with) the war again would be twofold: revenge and total control of Gaza.

It is precisely this notion of "finishing the job" which is at the heart of the issue. When Bibi says "we will enter Rafah and achieve total victory", given the character, his ideology and track record, the intent is clear.

The Road to Ceasefire Leads Through the Rafah Offensive | Opinion

The military strategy for Hamas' October 7 attack was to create the largest scale of atrocity possible and survive Israel's counterattack. Then, having survived, it intended to build up for many more October 7 attacks, all with the aim of achieving its grand strategic goal: the destruction of Israel and the death of the Jewish people.

Ghazi Hamad, a senior Hamas political leader, stated as much, saying, "Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country ... the Al-Aqsa Flood is just the first time, and there will be a second, third, and fourth. Will we pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it."

Hamas's hope is that repeated attacks like October 7 will eventually break the will of the Israeli population. To do that, Hamas would need to survive the war.

It's what I call a political leader who references the Isaiah prophecy and the Biblical story of Amalek, in which God tells King Saul to annihilate the enemies of Israel, including children, babies, animals, men, women.
