This entire back-and-forth between who agrees to the hostage exchange/truce deal and who opposes it has been nothing short of ridiculous. This mess of narratives over the ceasefire has become unstoppable from spreading. Hamas has agreed to it, and wants a timeline with assurances that Israel will withdraw from Gaza completely. Israel has stated that they want to keep on fighting and killing.
How are there people out there believing that Israel agrees to this deal? They have stated they do not. Israeli officials have made it clear that they refuse any form of a ceasefire and will reject any discussions of a truce.
This is why Hamas wants assurances that the IDF will exit out of Gaza and a permanent ceasefire be honored.
Israeli officials have said repeatedly that they the war will end when Hamas is destroyed. They will not stop unless they are stopped. Israel wants to continue their bloody genocide to annex Gaza and annihilate all Palestinians. They have this opportunity to return the hostages and for peace, but they are electing for further bloodshed and death. Israel wants destruction. The goals of this war have been laid out since the beginning, but the US is trying to rewrite the narrative and failing horribly because a narrative cannot be rewritten or reinterpreted when it has been delivered from the horse’s mouth.
Hamas has only said positive and affirmative remarks about the proposed hostage exchange/truce deal.
Why are so many news outlets pushing this story that Hamas is not supportive of the proposal when they also release articles that Hamas is supporting the exchange/truce? It is confusing and it is meant to be confusing.
It also does not help that Secretary of State Blinken said that Hamas was the only holdup to a ceasefire, but Hamas had already replied with support for the UN proposal for a temporary ceasefire while working toward a permanent ceasefire. So why does he make these claims?
The US and Israel want to twist the narrative that Hamas is the party with issues over the hostage exchange/ceasefire proposal, but with Hamas issuing statements to the press and the UN that they are in agreement with the plan, it removes any doubt who the real problem is- Israel.
Again, how can they concoct a plan that somehow tries to remove Israel as the one refusing the proposal when Israeli officials have firmly refused any ceasefire agreements?
What is even more mind boggling is that there are some people that cannot see this conflict of facts and fiction, or refuse to see the dissonance.
There is very little aid entering Gaza.
The death toll is over 37,000 innocent Palestinians killed.
The UN has placed Israel on a list of countries that harm and kill children.
Countries are still sending arms and military funding to Israel.
Israel wants their genocide against Palestinians to rage on.
What will the world do when Israel refuses the deal?
What will we do (and what can we do) in response when world leaders allow Israel to continue the genocide?
From the river to the sea, may Palestine be free. May the whole world be free.
