Biden pressing Israel's Netanyahu for end to military campaign on Palestine; Israel, Hamas reject
|
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] US officials are pressing their Israeli counterparts and Tel Aviv’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to expedite willingness to reach a ceasefire, source familiar with Washington’s recent diplomatic efforts said Tuesday.
Despite no such language being publicly released in statements from the White House, State Department or Pentagon, 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?...
struck an aggressive tone during a phone call with the Israeli premier on Monday, according to the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
The US has blocked three attempts by the UN Security Council to release a statement that calls for an end to the violence between Paleostinian factions and Israeli forces, which spilled over into its second week.
Diplomats said the US ambassador to the UN reiterated previous stances from US officials that a UN statement would not help de-escalate tensions.
Israel, Hamas deny ceasefire expected on Thursday, as US ups pressure
[IsraelTimes] Reports late Tuesday that Israel and Paleostinian terror groups in the 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 an iron fist by Hamaswith 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 ...
Strip will cease fire on Thursday morning sparked a flurry of denials from all parties involved, while the White House continued applying behind-the-scenes pressure on Jerusalem to wind down the fighting.
Egypt has proposed an Israel-Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, ceasefire through private channels that would take effect on Thursday at 6 a.m., Channel 12 news reported. The report cited Paleostinian sources saying Hamas had agreed to the offer, while there had been no response from Israel.
But it took less than an hour for denials to begin pouring in.
"No agreement or specific timings for the ceasefire were reached," Izzat al-Rishq, a member of the terror group’s leadership, said in a statement.
The efforts to coordinate a ceasefire — led by the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...

They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
and other countries — are ongoing, al-Rishq said. "While emphasizing that the efforts and contacts of the mediators are serious and continuous, the demands of our people are clear and well-known."
Exercising similar caution, a diplomatic source familiar with Egypt’s efforts to broker a ceasefire in the fighting, which began on Monday, May 10 with a Hamas rocket barrage at Jerusalem, told The Times of Israel that negotiations were still ongoing and no such agreement had yet been reached.
Several Hebrew media outlets quoted an "Israeli official" who also poured cold water on the report.
However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
both Israel and Hamas have vehemently denied reports of ceasefires to end previous rounds of conflict over the years, which nevertheless went into effect shortly thereafter.
The Haaretz daily on Tuesday night quoted another Israeli official who said that barring any last-minute surprises, a ceasefire would indeed likely be reached by Thursday morning.
"There is no decisive [win] and there likely won’t be," the official said. "Everyone is tired."
According to Channel 13, Hamas was seeking reassurances from Israel that it would not attempt to kill the terror group’s leaders during the ceasefire — a demand rejected by Israel — while Jerusalem was demanding the terror group hold its fire for several hours while it weighs the ceasefire offer, a condition rejected by Hamas.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier on Tuesday said the military operation, now in its ninth day, would go on "as long as needed to restore calm for the citizens of Israel."
The White House has so far resisted international calls for ramping up public pressure on Netanyahu. It has made the calculation that Israel will not respond to international resolutions or public demands by the US, and that its greatest leverage is behind-the-scenes pressure, according to the person familiar with the administration’s discussions.
Separately, a UN Security Council emergency meeting earlier Tuesday on the situation in Gaza ended without any result, four diplomats involved told The Times of Israel.
The closed-door session was the fourth in nine days held by the top UN body and came a day after the US blocked a joint statement calling for a ceasefire for the third consecutive time.
While the Norwegian, Chinese and Tunisian missions that initiated Tuesday’s meeting did so to increase international pressure for a ceasefire, two Security Council diplomats told The Times of Israel they weren’t really sure why another consultation was held, given that member states knew the US position had not moved in the previous 24 hours.
According to Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry, at least 212 Paleostinians have been killed so far in the nine days of the conflict, including more than 60 children. It was not immediately clear if this ministry tally included all of those killed or if there were Hamas operatives not included in the count. According to the IDF, more than 120 of those killed were members of Hamas and over 25 were members of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
as of Monday night.
