On 5/31, Biden grabbed the Israeli proposal, which Netanyahu had been happy to see rejected by Hamas, and made it fully public, cleverly but accurately calling it the Israeli proposal. Which it is. But Netanyahu hates it. So now Netanyahu is walking back from it while Hamas is responding “positively.”

The three mediators have issued a joint statement supporting the Israeli offer for a hostage exchange. This puts further pressure on Hamas to agree. There are reports that Qatar plans to put its entire weight behind this initiative as it is now a signature Presidential policy and

Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, the far right members, say they’ll leave the govt if the deal happens. That’ll leave Netanyahu to form a govt with center right figures.

Israel has now offered a roadmap to an enduring ceasefire – and the release of all the hostages. Yesterday, this proposal was transmitted by Qatar to Hamas. Today, I want to lay out its terms for the world.

Here is Netanyahu subtly acknowledging he did make the proposal, but that he doesn’t really mean it because he’ll keep waging war no matter what. Note the language:

Replying to @IsraeliPM
The Prime Minister authorized the negotiating team to present a proposal to that end, which would also enable Israel to continue the war until all its objectives are achieved, including the destruction of Hamas's military and governing capabilities.

Senior Israeli officials tell me: The plan presented by President Biden is indeed the offer made by the war cabinet, through the mediators, to Hamas. However, there is one main difference between the President's speech and the actual offer made by Israel. "Israel has never agreed

An interesting unintended consequence of the extended months of scrutiny of Israel, seems like a lot of people are discovering the curious case of the USS Liberty. I've seen a lot of videos circulating on Youtube and only just recently learned about it myself.

Israel has never proposed any plan that did not end with the deconstruction of hamas as a political and military entity. They have been extraordinarily consistent on this and any attempt to obfuscate this is simply lies.
