Biden: Hamas now ‘has choice to make’ in Gaza, Israel faces ‘hard choices’ on Saudi normalization
[IsraelTimes] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. This Is A Man That Does Not Seem Demented...
turns to the ongoing war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, saying Paleostinians in Gaza deserve a similar end to conflict.

"The people of Gaza have been through hell, their worlds absolutely shattered, far too many civilians in Gaza have suffered far too much," Biden says.

While hinting at criticism of Israel in that remark, Biden is explicit in his blaming of Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
for refusing to negotiate in good faith for months.

"Now, Hamas has a choice to make. Their only way out is to release the hostages, including American citizens," Biden says, adding the deal the US is promoting would allow for a surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza and result in an "end of the war without Hamas in power."

Biden says the US, Egypt, Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
— and now The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
as well — will make another push for a ceasefire in Gaza. This is the first time he is adding Turkey into the equation, ostensibly since Hamas leaders landed there after Qatar ousted them from Doha. Qatar announced that it was temporarily ending its mediation efforts shortly after it confirmed ousting Hamas leaders in late October. Doha has not since announced a resumption of its mediating role.

The Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
ceasefire moves the Biden administration closer to its vision for a more integrated Middle East — one that includes the establishment of a demilitarized Paleostinian state alongside Israel, the president says.

To that end, Biden says the US remains prepared to broker a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat Frational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
, which would include "a credible pathway for establishing a Paleostinian state."

Israel has repeatedly rejected the two-state framework, and a pair of US politicians told The Times of Israel months ago that the window to secure a deal before the end of Biden’s term in office has closed.

Nonetheless, Biden says, "I believe this agenda remains possible. In my remaining time in office, I will work tirelessly to advance this vision."

He acknowledges that a Saudi normalization deal will require Israel to make "hard choices."

"Now, Israel must be bold in turning tactical gains against Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and his proxies into a coherent strategy that secures Israel’s long term safety and advances of broader peace and prosperity in the region," Biden says, in an apparent shot at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who for months refused to plan at all for the post-war management of Gaza, while rejecting the involvement of a reformed Paleostinian Authority, even though it would unlock much-needed support from Israel’s Arab neighbors for the post-war reconstruction and management of Gaza.

"I applaud the courageous decision made by the leaders of Lebanon and Israel to end the violence. It reminds us that peace is possible," Biden says. "As long as that is the case, I’ll not for a single moment stop working to achieve it."
