Ismail Haniyeh, a prominent Hamas leader, was assassinated in Tehran, casting a shadow over the fragile ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas. As the diplomatic face of Hamas, Haniyeh played a crucial role in talks brokered by Qatar, the US, and Egypt. His death raises questions about the future of these efforts, especially as accusations fly between Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and the Palestinian group over stalled truce proposals

The death of Haniyeh, a significant figure in Hamas’s political and diplomatic structure, has raised serious questions about the future of ongoing ceasefire negotiations. American officials had recently indicated that these talks, mediated by Qatar, the United States, and Egypt, were close to yielding a temporary ceasefire and a potential hostage release deal.

However, the assassination has cast doubt on the feasibility of these efforts moving forward.

      It is notoriously hard to find non-radicalized folks after repeatedly dropping bombs on their homes.

      If that was genuinely Isreal’s aim they would be limiting their intervention to targeted strikes or utilizing the Palestinian social apparatus to try and secure custody of the most extreme Hamas members… they’d also be rabidly going after any Isreali settlers threatening the peace process.

      Genuinely trying to build a better civilian government (which is something I’m absolutely supportive of) looks a lot different than what we’ve been seeing.

      IMO Netanyahu and most of his party don’t really care if Palestinians live or die - they just want to make Gaza so inhospitable that they all flee as refugees so that Isreal can freely claim the land. With some very notable exceptions I think the preference is that no Palestinians die so that it doesn’t look as bad on the international stage… though a few fucks literally want blood.

      Israel realized that it’s better to control gaza from the outside with the blockade

          Gaza has restrictions from israel since 1967. The more tight restrictions get, the more hate there will be feom the affected people.

                  Perfectly apt response for a person that thinks economic growth = right to invasion. But rules are rules so I understand.
