From the article: "Half of the Israeli hostages would be released in the first week, the Egyptian plan stipulated. Hamas is demanding that Israel end the war, but Cairo has made it clear in its proposal that any longterm end to the fighting depends on Hamas disarming.

On the other hand, Hamas asserted that its disarmament is not open for negotiation, and that the Israeli military must withdraw from Gaza.responded by stressing that any agreement must begin with a cease-fire and an Israeli withdrawal, not disarmament, which they say is not up for negotiation."

  1. I mean why would they at this point. Israel has not shown good faith either. It’s like Ukraine now, decades after giving up their nukes. The Budapest memorandum was supposed to be respected by Russia and the US to respect the borders of Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan and now we have Russia in Ukraine and the US wants to take a step back. Why would hamas ever believe the words of Israel backed by the US now after a year of annihilation. Same reason why Iran does not want to negotiate with the US directly because those words are tarnished. Plus, hamas probably has thousands if not tens of thousands of people willing to go if they get their opportunity now and I highly doubt many of them are the forgiving sorts.

  2. Always baffling to me that after all this death and destruction, Hamas still believes that it’s better for o continue the suffering rather than just give up on the dream of murdering all the Jews.

    I just cannot understand how you can hate people so deeply and care so little about the lives and wellbeing of your own citizens that you’re willing to sacrifice so many of your people just for the chance of maybe killing more Jews.

    Your own children, parents, neighbors, community all suffering in order for you to kill more Jews.

    How can anyone possibly think this way? Why don’t they just surrender, release the hostages, and accept peace?

  3. Hamas’s disarmament is not up for negotiating?

    In that case, neither is the war. If they want to fight to the last man, Israel should take them up on the opportunity.

    Nothing but unconditional surrender from Hamas is acceptable, and I’m glad Trump and Netanyahu seem to agree.

  4. This has reached an absurd level. How can they not feel any shame for the immense pain they’ve caused to their families and communities? At some point, someone has to step back, think logically, and ask themselves whether any of this truly worth it or not? They lost every single time from the 2000s but their lost is not some distant point sport game, their lost is translated to death, suffering and pain on both sides. I know politics isn’t supposed to be driven by emotions, but even from a purely logical standpoint, I just can’t understand how anyone could look at the numbers, the reality, and the future and think, this is the path we want to keep moving forward with.
