Because you'd prefer to have the terrorists re group for another attack on Israel? Do you think its quite antisemitic to keep spelling Israel and Netanyahu incorrectly.

 

Why do you think the Palastinanian Authority are attacking Hamas in the West Bank?

No, PA claims that it is attacking Islamic Jihad in Jenin. They are apparently trying to show Netanyahu or US that they would be capable of preventing the reemergence of Hamas in Gaza if they were given "control" over it, but Netanyahu does not want to see any group in control of both West Bank and Gaza.

You can always discuss on the actual topic for it if you like. Count me out of further off topic discussion on this one

 

The PA’s crackdown in Jenin reflects its ongoing struggle to assert authority in a fragmented political landscape, the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority has tried to diminish Hamas’ influence in the West Bank, often with Israel’s help.

If US wanted a cease fire, it would have done long before Israel killed thousands of children and mothers. US could have forced Netanyahu to stop the war.

But because of the overall influence of Jewish politicians in US it didn't happen.

 Absolute nonsense. Why do you demand everything of israel? Why should Israel  declare a unilateral ceasefire and still have its people held captive and still suffer a barrage of missile and rockets? Hamas started a war, and Israel must impress on the  Gaza population who  supported the war , that their actions have consequences. 

 

Why so concerned about casualties? Hamas certainly is not and the general population says it welcomes death and wants to be martyred.

The United States is pushing for a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas to be finalized before the end of Joe Biden's presidency, Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed during a press conference. The announcement comes ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, adding urgency to ongoing diplomatic efforts.  

 

“We very much want to bring this over the finish line in the next two weeks, the time we have remaining,” Blinken told reporters when asked about the progress toward a deal.  

 

Hamas recently claimed to have provided Israel with a list of 34 hostages that could be released in the first phase of a ceasefire agreement. The list reportedly includes children, women, and the elderly. However, questions remain about the status of the hostages. A source involved in the negotiations told *The Telegraph*, “Israel of course demands that the hostages released are alive and not corpses. So until there’s a clarification on the list, there’s still work to be done to agree on the ceasefire.”  

 

 

The source further disclosed that Israel had already identified Palestinian prisoners who might be released in exchange. However, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the list of hostages provided by Hamas appeared to match the names shared with mediators by Israel in July 2022, suggesting no new information had been presented.  

 

While Israel has signaled its willingness to respect a ceasefire deal, officials have emphasized that any pause in hostilities will not signal an end to their campaign against Hamas. “It will be a ceasefire, where the international system along with Israel will hopefully manage to solve the issue of Hamas having any influence in Gaza,” the source added.  

 

As efforts to reach an agreement intensify, David Barnea, Israel’s intelligence chief, is reportedly set to travel to Qatar for further discussions. Meanwhile, Blinken’s remarks underscore the Biden administration’s determination to broker a deal that could alleviate tensions and potentially lead to a broader resolution of the conflict.

Not 24 hours then? Oh wait, different war, different president.

Hamas started a war

No

The war is going on since someone decided to take away land from some people and give it to other people.

Wrong as usual, the war started on Oct 7th 2023 when Hamas announced the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood with over 5,000 rockets fired indiscriminately at Israel, around 3,000 or more Hamas terrorists and their affiliates along with a couple of thousand Gazan civilians. 

 

We don't need to go into the details of the horrific massacre that followed and the hostage taking which is back to the topic, a ceasefire and hostage release.

 Israel did not take away  land in Gaza. Hamas was in control in  Gaza. The attack on Oct. 7 was not about the liberation of Gaza, but was for the destruction of Israel and to kill as many Israelis as possible. This was what  the collective of groups who participated in  the attack stated. Islamic Jihad and  many of the participating groups are not interested in any peaceful solution with Israel. It demands the  absolute  destruction of Israel and the killking of all jews in the region.

You obviously cannot provide a rational  basis upon which to  make your claim. Why not just be honest and state that you hate Israel and do not accept hits right toexist, nor the fact that Judea has been around since long before anyone invented the  Palestinian state.

Fingers crossed but I am not holding my breath.................

 

Trump’s Mideast envoy to visit Qatar, claiming hostage deal on verge of completion

“We’re making a lot of progress, and I don’t want to say too much because I think they’re doing a really good job back in Doha. I’m leaving tomorrow to go back to Doha, but I think that we’ve had some really great progress, and I’m really hopeful that by the inaugural, we’ll have some good things to announce on behalf of the president,” Witkoff said, after Trump called on him to provide an update on the negotiations during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
