"Netanyahu rejects Hamas’s Gaza cease-fire proposal, calling it ‘delusional’ — a setback for Blinken on his Israel trip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that a plan proposed by Hamas to halt fighting in Gaza, exchange Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners and ultimately end the war was a non-starter, adding that Israel would continue its military operation in the south. It was a setback for Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was in Israel seeking to build support for a hostage deal and humanitarian pause."
"Delusional" is right. And if anyone else is delusional, it's Biden and Blinken, who continue to badger and put pressure on Israel to stop fighting a war that was forced upon them on October 7. They need to stop telling Israel what to do.
I also saw this headline today from Virtual Jerusalem: Blinken, UN Chief, Furious Israel Aiming for Win in Rafah
"Leaks from today’s meeting with the Israeli leadership indicated that Tony is furious that the IDF is heading south to Rafah
"Oh, poor Tony Blinken. The hapless Secretary of State didn’t think that Israeli would take seriously the US position that Hamas must be defeated. Leaked reports from inside today’s meeting suggest that he lost his cool when the Israeli leadership informed him that Rafah was the next and possibly ultimate target as Khan Yunis is about to fall to the IDF.
"His boss (Biden), meanwhile, apparently forgot who Israeli was fighting, unable to remember the word 'Hamas' and settling for 'the opposition' as if Hamas was an opposing parliamentary faction."
------------
They never stop, and it's infuriating. Blinken needs to shut up and go home. He and his boss need to stop interfering in Israel's business. Biden needs to stop criticizing Israel; stop suggesting suicidal ceasefires & negotiations with Hamas; and do his job pretending to be President of the United States instead of pretending to be the President and Prime Minister of Israel.
