Israel’s Cabinet has approved a cease-fire deal with the Hamas militant group that would bring a temporary halt to a devastating war now in its seventh week. The Israeli government said that under the deal, Hamas is to free at least 50 of the roughly 240 hostages it is holding in the Gaza Strip over a four-day period.
So literally the entire time so many people were getting all pissed Biden wasn’t calling for a cease fire, he was working to get a cease fire, and he actually got it, and didn’t slip up one time to stick it to some reporter he hates.
I definitely would have spilled the beans and ruined everything.
And people are still mad at him.
Whether they admit it or not, they like the blowhard.
He didn’t. He got a 5-day pause. We’ll see if he can extend it to a real ceasefire, but if after four days Palestinians continue getting bombed all criticism against him will still be valid.
I mean, a ceasefire is literally a temporary pause to fighting.
No one was calling for a truce or peace talks.
I mean yes but in the context of this particular conflict a ceasefire is more long-term (usually it falls apart as soon as Israel breaks it but that’s beside the point). A 5-day pause to fighting is a different to a ceasefire because a ceasefire would mean this particular massacre comes to an end.
People calling for ceasefire have been continually dismissed and told only a pause is possible. Now that Bidens support is tanking there is at least a pause. We’ll see what happens in 4 days,
