Hamas says it won't take part in Gaza hostage-ceasefire deal talks - eviltoast

In a statement, Hamas claimed several reasons for its decision: the new conditions and demands presented recently by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza that killed dozens of Palestinians, many of them civilians.

“In light of this, and out of concern and responsibility towards our people and their interests, the movement calls on the mediators to submit a plan to implement what they presented to the movement and approved on July 2, based on Biden’s vision and [UN] Security Council resolution,” Hamas said in its statement.

The group said additional rounds of negotiations or discussing new proposals “provide cover for the occupation’s aggression.”

    Couldnt agree more, but lets erase Hamas first.

    Netanyahou is like fever, it’s bad and a pain, but it is a normal biological reaction in order to erase virus or bacteria. Once the disease has been cured, we can get rid of the fever.

      No.

      Israel predates Hamas, the Israel problem Palestinians face will not go away if you remove the symptom (Hamas).

      Israel literally funded Hamas and allowed them take over Gaza to stop the PA getting voted back in.

          Netanyahu is not the cause of Zionist supremacism, he’s just one in a history of its followers.

            And Hamas is not the first Palestinian terrorist organization, merely the latest.

            Nevertheless, either Israel and Palestine learn to look past their respective histories or they can keep fighting forever.

              No.

              Israel is the invader, a colonial state not even 100 years old that’s been engaged in genocide since day one.

              You telling the Palestinians to look past Israeli genocide is like asking Jews to look past Hitler during the holocaust.

                If Palestinians can’t, then they will keep fighting and dying. There is no other way out. They cannot defeat Israel, and rest of the world isn’t going to save them.
