As Israel continues to lay waste to the Gaza Strip after invading it more than ten months ago, bombing anything it labels a Hamas target to smithereens, the negotiations meant to achieve a ceasefire in this conflict are yet to bear fruit.
The United States’ efforts to help peacefully resolve the latest escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have been called into question by Hamas.
“The American administration is attempting to create a false sense of positivity, without any genuine intent to stop the war, merely aiming to buy time,” Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told the Wall Street Journal.
The Hamas official made this remark as the White House boasted alleged progress in the ceasefire talks.
One senior US administration official even claimed on Friday that the talks reached an “endgame” and that the previous two days were “the most constructive 48 hours that we’ve had in this process in many months,” the newspaper noted.
Poster Comment:
Blinken will go to Israel to push Netanyahu into accepting a ceasefire. If he refuses to budge, Blinken will stay home. The world will blame Israel and there will be an exchange of missiles and drones.
