No Ceasefire

Biden just went on TV to give yet another call for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Of course,  every time Israel is making progress against Hamas, there seems to be calls for a ceasefire, and always to Israel's detriment.

Here is the proposal:

"Phase 1 would entail a complete ceasefire, the withdrawal of IDF soldiers from Gaza, the partial release of some of the remaining hostages, a swap for Palestinian prisoners, and the entry of 600 trucks into the strip. This phase would last six weeks.

"Phase 2 would be a "permanent end to hostilities." If it were to take longer than six weeks to reach phase 2, the six-week ceasefire would extend. Additionally, this would include the release of the remaining live hostages, including soldiers. This would also mean the formal permanent cessation of hostilities.

"Phase 3 would include the reparation of the Gaza Strip. Once achieved, this phase would also include the return of the remains of the hostages who died in Hamas captivity."

The answer should be no, no, and no.  How many times has Israel been through this sham?  You can't have "peace" with terrorists who want your country and your people eradicated.  "An end to hostilities" is a joke, since the hostility is caused by Hamas. The longer a ceasefire lasts (during which Hamas and its allies will fire at Israel), the more time Hamas has to rebuild and re-arm.

Biden should take care of the problems he's caused in his own country and let Israel finish the job to destroy Hamas.
