Does the Gaza cease-fire 'bridging proposal' stand a chance? | DW News

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on a diplomatic tour aimed at brokering a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Blinken says Israel has accepted a new 'bridging' proposal.' But Hamas, which committed the October 7th terror attacks, has accused Israel of making changes to the proposal that go against what Hamas agreed to last month.

One lie after another.

[@LS-uw5cc]

HMS agreed to a deal in May and Bidenyahu deal in July. Why should they negotiate yet another deal

[@stennan]

@@LS-uw5cc because they agreed to different deals? HUMUS agreed to hand over dead bodies if Israel handed over live Humus members and IDF left Gaza. Israel wanted live hostages and a list of dead/alive, to stay in northern Gaza. But I am sure you knew this already. This is why the US and mediators are trying to get a bridging deal in place by giving a little of both to both warring sides.

[@BabyDucks-pv7tr]

why should we agrre to only what hamas agrees to? hamas doesn't get to set terms not after what they did on oct 7th. Israel will not and should not agree to any deal that leaves those murderers in gaza, if they loved gaza so much they'd agree to leave and go live off their billions of aid money in qatar.

[@FurianXX]

@@BabyDucks-pv7tr And by that same token, Israel does not get to set terms after 40000 killed to date after Oct 7th...HMS should not and will not agree to any deal that leaves IDF in parts of the Gaza strip... Palestinians have learnt from the OSLO Accords not to trust the US and Israel.... more settlements, more settlers, more violence, more land grabs since the Oslo accords... something that the Oslo accords was set to address and stop... and yet again Israel seized more land in the West Bank, Jordan valley, the UNESCO site... The US finally moved to include ceasefire? According to the ICJ, the illegal occupation must come to an end... thats a good start for any deal...

[@jesusaguilar4585]

@@kilomike2781 For whom is it beneficial? On part for the Palestinians so the continued war crimes end BUT the occupation and military action in Gaza will continue because Israel has stated as a demand that the IDF continue military operations if necessary and stationing of troops as well. You then have the Philadelphia corridor which is a dispute with Egypt since Egyptian control of the Philadelphia corridor is enshrined in the Egyptian/Israeli Peace Treaty. This only benefits Israel and HAMAS as well as Palestinians know this which is why HAMAS or any Palestinian delegation refused to attend the recent Qatar session.

[@turtlex5994]

So Blinken has only made a deal with Netanyahu that completely trashed the original deal because it allows Israel to remain in occupation of the Philadelphi Corridor and the Netzarin Corridor which cuts Gaza in half and allows Israel to continue the war after the hostages have been returned. Now he blames Hamas for not being interested in the new deal which bears little or no resemblance to the deal agreed by Hamas in May. Shouldn't the mediators be completely neutral? It seems pointless for the US to be involved when they are the weapons supplier and financier to the genocide.

[@garyquinlan4075]

Ceasefires are NEVER requested by the side who is winning a war, only the side losing the war. Can you see the winning side saying "please give us a ceasefire so we can stop pummeling the losers". Israel should only agree to a ceasefire if: 1) All remaining hostages are immediately released unharmed; 2) Palestinian leaders formally recognise Israel's right to exist as an independent State including ALL lands they currently hold (except West Bank and Gaza of course); and 3) HAMAS surrenders all weapons.

[@aaron.aaron.v.b.9448]

In all honesty, would the US have ended the occupation of Germany without Germany concluding a peace deal that entailed that Germany would never ever start a war again? I mean they can't just give Gaza back to Hamas. Nevertheless, that there is no alternative to Hamas is of course to a high degree of Netanyahu's making. The point is, if the US want Israel to leave Gaza, they have to push Israel to negotiate with the PA, not with Hamas.

[@aaron.aaron.v.b.9448]

@@TommyV8898 It seems rather that the Israeli public is pretty indifferent to the plight of the Palestinians. What they are really interested in is (their) peace, like probably every other population around the world. Whatever is convincingly more likely to produce this peace will be embraced by the Israeli public. Unfortunately the peace process was followed by the second Intif*da, thus discrediting the peace process, while measures like the wall proved pretty effective in securing something akin to peace (for the Israeli side). That this temporary breathing space was not used for deepening the peace process but to get Israel and the West Bank more and more entangled by building scores of illegal settlements is a tragedy.
