I’m suspicious that it was Biden, rather than a top Israeli official, making the argument and call on behalf of Israel that Hamas take this deal.
Feels like Groundhog Day.
Hamas already agreed to the ceasefire that Blinken pitched as an Israeli approved ceasefire, with terms “as good as they were going to get”.
But, it WAS Biden on the telly today, personally pitching this deal on behalf of Israel.
That’s the power Biden and the USA has over Israel. The world’s #1 Superpower doesn’t like its subordinates misbehaving, to put it mildly.
I say to Hamas, if you are reading this, take the deal and take it unconditionally and loudly with a lot of fanfare. Kick the ball back to Israel’s court.
Let’s see if Israel has the balls to agree to the deal Biden JUST SAID was Israels deal.
Don’t mess with Uncle Sam.
