America should have nothing to do with it.
The first rule of negotiating with Islamic terrorists is ‘don’t.’ The second rule is that a bad deal is worse than no deal.
Qatar, Steven Witkoff and assorted Islamists who have crawled into the administration through the backdoor have continued to advance ‘ceasefire’ negotiations. Every phase of these negotiations have come closer to the demands of Hamas despite the fact that it lost the war. This is a familiar pattern when negotiating with terrorists.
What Hamas wants, above all else, is victory which means the withdrawal of the Israelis from Gaza.
The current ceasefire deal includes this demand under the language of “permanent ceasefire”. A permanent ceasefire is a contradiction in terms. And there’s no such thing with Islamic terrorists. Hamas has not ended its campaign to destroy Israel and wipe out its population.
This is a deal that benefits Qatar, Hamas and no one else. America should have nothing to do with it.
Anne Nicholls says
You can reach a fair agreement, or an agreement to disagree, with others who are operating within the same moral system With others negotiation will fail. Any “agreement” will be broken. It’s inevitable. Trying to negotiate with Hamas is a waist of time.

The thing is, what should be common sense seems now to be only had by a few; and those few, to those without common sense, are unimportant in their scheme of things.
The ghouls must win…by hook, crook, lies of all kinds and making the uninformed look through a thick sweater.
If one cannot see that making deals with mozscummy terrorists is akin to a baby bunny making deals with the rattlesnake seeking warmth from the winter snows. As long as the snake needs the bunny, the baby will be safe.
As long as hamas can keep those idiots negotiating for Israel’s surrender and demise on the hook, they will pretend to agree.

America and Israel need to end negotiations with terrorist or Israel will once again, compromise with Islam. Israel needs to take control of ALL of GAZA, permanently. Screw Trump and America who’ll want to compromise, kiss the ass of Muslims, give them a share of GAZA.

Trump may be the greatest disaster in history when all is done. A narcissist with huge ego and love of gold, money and praise can always be bought and then yet bought again with betrayal in between.
Trump does not want Iran to be free, just de nuked but not free. Iranian people know only Israel can free them by pulverizing the IRGC enough that the people can finish the job. Trump is the nightmare in the way.
A free Iran will ally with Israel and India. These 3 can together become armaments production sufficient and then no more need for america in the region. America will lose control over the region. Kurdistan might arise making 4 nation coalition. Other states could also join.
This replaces trumps Abraham accords as the main thing and less money for trump and no Nobel prize.
As I look at every thing trump does, even his huge bill, there is both good things and evil things and the evil is quite evil despite the good that gets all the focus.
Trump is leading the world to destruction faster than horrible joe, but in a different way.
Think of a good cattle rancher. His herd is grass fed. Well watered. Shelters when needed. Looks great. Then one day he kills his herd. That’s ok as he is a cattle rancher.
We are not trumps cattle. Trump has revived my dormant middle finger that keeps standing at attention after years of hibernation so often when the forked tongue of the snake you should not have taken in speaks.
Bret says
Your tds is vey apparent. Islamic terrorism will never end. It never has. Whether there is a peace deal now or total destruction of Iran, it’s just a matter of time until it rears its ugly head once again.
abu taleb says
The destruction of Gaza is also a victory for Hamas and muslims to, because who cares about the fate of the Gazans. Muslims don’t really care about other muslims, they only care about themselves..
Only some infidels care about other people.

The ‘Ceasefire’ Deal Means Victory for Hamas

All grimly true…

Problem is that as long as Hamas has even one living hostage, they have the upper hand. So they will never release all the hostages, b’cos at that point, their leverage is totally gone. They know that they’re not gonna get back Gaza, and that if they leave, they’re never returning to Gaza or Judea/Samaria again
I really think at some point, Israel should assume that all the hostages are dead, and just level the place. Those who can and do want to flee to an Arab country should be allowed, but after that, just bomb them into extinction, and then throw it open to Trump or whoever wants to rebuild. That’s the only way to ensure that this saga ends
OLD GUY says
It won’t even end then, because Islam won’t let it.

Once that place is emptied of muslims, it can
