Biden’s ‘Israeli’ proposal for a hostage deal leaves key questions unanswered
2024-06-03
[IsraelTimes] The timing and content of the US president’s address were curious, as was Netanyahu’s reaction; that may have been by design

This is a zero-sum contest — either Hamas is toppled and Israel prevails, or Hamas retains its arms and retakes the Gaza Strip, a stunning defeat for the Jewish state. No speech of Biden’s can square that circle.
On Friday, as many Israelis were enjoying their post-Shabbat-dinner slumber, US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?...
stepped up to the microphones in the White House State Dining Room to deliver a potentially game-changing address. He presented what he called the latest Israeli proposal for a deal with Hamas

#6  The Times of Israel:

Israeli official says Biden’s description of Israeli truce deal offer ‘not accurate’

A senior Israeli official calls into question US President Joe Biden’s characterization of the terms of a hostage deal he laid out on Friday night as an Israeli proposal, stressing to NBC News that Israel never agreed to fully withdraw its forces from Gaza as part of any agreement.

Biden’s description was “not accurate,” says the unnamed official.

The official says what Biden described wasn’t an Israeli proposal but rather one originating with the mediating countries, to which Israel made amendments.

“It’s strange that they say it’s an Israeli proposal and at the same time that Israel needs to agree to it,” muses the official.


This is the second time they tried bulldozing Israel into surrendering. The last time was when Hamas agreed to the “Israeli “ proposal that Egypt, et al agreed to among themselves without consulting Israel, with the Biden administration’s agreement.

Not to me. One shouldn't be surprised that US administration that practices "Great Replacement" on their own population promotes the same for the Jewish state.
