Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted there will be no permanent ceasefire in Gaza until Hamas’s military and governing capabilities are destroyed and all hostages are released. His statement comes after US President Joe Biden announced Israel had proposed a three-stage plan to Hamas aimed at reaching a permanent ceasefire. A senior Hamas politician has told the BBC it "will go for this deal" if Israel does. The negotiations come as fighting continues in Rafah, with reports of Israeli air strikes on Saturday in the city on Egypt's border with Gaza. There is no guarantee that the public pressure by Mr Biden on both Israel and Hamas to accept the plan will result in a deal.

"Until war aims achieved"

Alright I know the statement is one that's very dependent on context, but... man, that phrase could have come right out of Putin's mouth circa 2022 while he was trying to justify his invasion of Ukraine.

He's basically saying "we'll stop shooting once they're all dead".

He and other Israeli leaders can keep saying it and their supporters will continue to say it's not a genocide

Biden needs to mandate a reassessment from the State Department immediately.

After news of suppression of intelligence, Biden proposed the ceasefire. The agreement would have allowed him to have direct oversight of the negotiations between Israel and Hamas and ensure they remained within international law.

Without the ceasefire, he’s back to relying on a compromised intelligence report and congressional support for munitions supply. Deviation from both of these branches would certainly land him in an impeachment trial for acting in bad faith.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted there will be no permanent ceasefire in Gaza until Hamas’s military and governing capabilities are destroyed and all hostages are released.

His statement comes after US President Joe Biden announced Israel had proposed a three-stage plan to Hamas aimed at reaching a permanent ceasefire.

A senior Hamas politician has told the BBC it "will go for this deal" if Israel does.The negotiations come as fighting continues in Rafah, with reports of Israeli air strikes on Saturday in the city on Egypt's border with Gaza.

The final phase would see the remains of any deceased Israeli hostages returned, as well as a "major reconstruction plan" with US and international assistance to rebuild homes, schools and hospitals, Mr Biden said.

It wants a guarantee that the Israeli military will not return to Gaza after the hostages are released, and the offer does just that.This will, without a doubt, face opposition in Israel.Mr Biden tried to address those concerns by saying that Hamas had been so degraded that it did not have the ability to carry out another major attack on Israel.He acknowledged, however, that not everyone in Israel would accept the deal, but urged the government to resist pressure.Those who are likely to be against the plan include far-right members of Mr Netanyahu’s coalition, who have previously threatened to quit in case of any deal that would see the end of the war before the destruction of Hamas.

This omission may allow Mr Netanyahu to reject criticism that the deal offers major concessions to Hamas.Israel has ramped up attacks in the key city of Rafah in recent weeks, claiming operational control over the entire border with Egypt.
