Hamas already proposed a deal for a permanent ceasefire. Israelies are the ones not agreeing to it.
It doesn’t make sense for Hamas to give up prisoners in exchange for a ‘temporary’ ceasefire. All that’s going to happen is a massacre when the ceasefire expires and Hamas won’t have the leverage they have now.
This is straight out of the Republican playbook of proposing bullshit they know will never be agreed upon just to paint the opposition as unagreeable.
Fuck Zionists and fuck their supporters. They’re the same as Nazis.
What was their deal though?
Another Hamas official, Ahmad Abdelhadi, said that the group was sticking to its demand that Israel agree to a long-term cease-fire and that leaks about the talks were designed to pressure Hamas to soften its position.
“We are not interested in engaging with what’s been floated, because it does not fulfill our demands,” Mr. Abdelhadi said Tuesday in a televised interview with al-Mayadeen, a Lebanese broadcaster.
