Yeah, no, it is a perfect time for Hamas to surrender
Biden says Sinwar’s death is an ‘opportunity’ for a hostage deal and an end to war in Gaza
President Joe Biden said Thursday that the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israeli troops is a “good day for the world,” calling it an opportunity to free hostages held by the militant group and end the yearlong war in Gaza.
“Now’s the time to move on. … Move toward a cease-fire in Gaza, make sure that we move in a direction that we’re able to make things better for the whole world,” Biden told reporters as he arrived in Berlin for a short visit. “It’s time for this war to end and bring these hostages home. That’s what we’re ready to do.”
U.S. officials expressed such measured optimism that the killing of a militant (WT – good grief, the AP just called the leader of a terrorist group a militant) characterized by national security adviser Jake Sullivan as a “massive obstacle to peace” might breathe new life into cease-fire talks that have failed to produce a breakthrough for months despite periodic signs of progress.
“Over the past few weeks, there have been no negotiations for an end to the war because Sinwar has refused to negotiate,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters. “We now see an opportunity with him having been removed from the battlefield, being removed from the leadership of Hamas, and we want to seize that opportunity.”
It would be great if the hostages were returned and the war ended. All that needs to happen is for Hamas to surrender and release the hostages.
Biden spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to congratulate him on the mission that killed Sinwar. They also discussed “how to use this moment to bring the hostages home and to bring the war to a close with Israel’s security assured and Hamas never again able to control Gaza,” according to a White House summary of the call.
What is Biden’s plan to keep terrorist organization Hamas from controlling Gaza? Or any other Islamic terrorist group? I’m not finding that in any article on the call. How about for ensuring Israel’s security? It would be helpful if Biden-Harris weren’t giving aid and money to Hamas. The best way to provide security is for Donald Trump to be re-elected. Even then, there are enough Palestinians who not only have been indoctrinated to hate Israel and Jews (and America, don’t forget that), but, to be pure Islamic extremists, hence why most Arab nations will not take them in.
(Jerusalem Post) The Iranian mission to the United Nations has warned that Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar will serve to “strengthen” the “spirit of resistance” of the Palestinian population against Israel.
The mission highlighted that Sinwar “will become a role model for the youth and children who will follow his path towards the liberation of Palestine.”
These would be the pals of Biden-Harris, whom they made sure were flush with cash which could be, and has been, used to promote terrorism.
Joey says now is the time for the Israelis to give up.
Brilliant!
With Mr Sinwar dead, who even has the authority to negotiate or surrender far Hamas?
Ceasefire and hostage release ‘negotiations’ had pretty much ground to a halt anyway due to the difficulties in communicating with the gargoyle from Gaza; it was widely acknowledged that he would have to sign off on any deal, and, only using couriers for communication, time lags were long and getting longer.
Now he’s been sent to his 72 bacha bazi boys in Jahannam, but who now has the final authority?
Who indeed? The same can be said about the senile moron in the WH. Kameltoe obviously does not have the brains or ability to negotiate for America so who then?
Come on. You all know who the only negotiator is that’s running. Come on Elwood, Say his name. Say it!
Yep, her name is Kamala Harris, Vice-President of the United States of America.
Donnie Demento is afraid of “tough” guys like Putin, Xi and Netanyahu. He’ll give them whaever they want. You see, Donnie doesn’t quite understand the power of the United States of America; with him everything is personal. Harris understands that you don’t arm wrestle or bully the leaders, you use the United States of America as your calling card.
Netanyahu is sitting in the catbird seat, with his only challenge being if Harris wins.
Mr Elwood P Dowd of somewhere in St Louis County wrote:
No, her name is Kamala Emhoff! That she didn’t have enough respect for her husband to take his last name does not mean that the rest of us civilized people should show him similar disrespect.
Mr Dana of somewhere south of Lexington typed, “No, her name is Kamala Emhoff!”
No, her name is Kamala Harris. Just ask her.
You can disrepect her all you wish, but we choose not to. You can call her Madam Vice President. Your co-conspirators here call her a slut, a whore, a cunt and a cocksucker.
Weren’t you taught any manners??
who is left that has enough control to order the release of the Israeli hostages that are being held by at least 3 different groups. Of course Bibi knows this, he really is more interested in continuing to pander to his right wing political allies than in having the 100 hostages released.
Good catch, Johnny. The only reason the hostages haven’t been released is due to Bibi……sorry, I’m due back on earth now…
In 2011, Israel traded 1,027 palestinian terrorists for one IDF soldier who had been kidnapped and held hostage, Gilad Shalit. One of those 1,027 released gentlemen was Yahya Sinwar.
Benjamin Netanyahu can’t say in in public, but he knows that the ‘Palestinians’ will want the approximately 10,000 terrorists that Israel is holding now for the roughly 100 Israeli hostages still being held. That’s a fool’s errand.
It’s tough to say it, but Israel needs to treat the remaining hostages as casualties of war, demanding them back unconditionally, but absolutely refusing to release a single terrorist in trade.
The ONLY time a muslim wants a ceasefire is when they need to reorganize, regroup and rearm….so they can continue their war on civilization. There can be NO COEXISTENCE with islam.
Kamala Harris- “It would be a huge mistake for Israel to enter Rafah. I’ve studied the maps.”
Hamas’s genocidal leader, Yahya Sinwar, was killed in Rafah…
