According to Blinken, “Hamas has once again refused to release even a limited number of hostages to secure a ceasefire and relief for the people of Gaza,”
A temporary ceasefire is no relief, it’s a rearming period for Israel that Israel will end early, as they have done with every temporary ceasefire it has ever been a part of.
Hamas has not changed its demands since day one. They’re super simple, based on 80 years of interacting with these genocidal inhuman fucks.
The proposal for a limited truce was developed collaboratively by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar. A Hamas official stated that the group’s rejection stemmed from the absence of a permanent ceasefire in the proposal.
It’s amazing how many times blinken has said he’s disappointed while never doing anything to help the situation
