US says it has 'already narrowed some gaps' in talks, but sources tell MEE that Netanyahu's conditions are an obstacle and 'positive' media leaks are unfounded

Sources from within the Palestinian movement Hamas told Middle East Eye on Friday that “the Israeli delegation’s primary efforts were to add Netanyahu’s conditions to be part of Biden’s proposal.”

The sources added that “Hamas categorically rejects Netanyahu’s conditions”.

Commenting on media reports on the latest Doha negotiations, the source said: “All the Israeli and international media leaks portraying the talks as positive, are unfounded and misleading. They [the Israelis] seek to gain time hoping to contain the regional escalation following the assassination of Haniyeh.”

    That is probably because Netanyahu’s conditions are a temporary deley in the genocide, not an actual binding ceasefire and end of hostilities.

      Netanyahu’s conditions are an intentional poison pill. He has no desire for peace and every incentive to continue in Gaza. Between that and them fucking with Iran and Lebanon, I’ll be surprised if the whole region isn’t at war by this time next week.

        Please stop believing Hezbollah is Lebanon. Hezbollah is a way for Iran to control Lebanon as a puppet. The vast majority of lebanese hates Hezbollah and hates Iran.

        Lebanese people dont give a fuck about Israel. They juste want to get rid of Hezbollah.

      I do not like the idea of the collective guilt. It is totally right imo to hate politicians and soldiers. But to hate the whole country is a bad way imo.

        Generally when people say “fuck <country>” they’re referring to the political entity. No one here hates an entire country of people.

        I mean, there are a lot of Zionists in Israel, not just in government. Don’t forget that there are citizens stealing homes from Palestinians just because they know the Israeli government has their back. There’s also rampant discrimination against Palestinians in Israel, and there really hasn’t been many anti-war protests on the side of “stop what we’re doing to Gaza.” Most of the protests have been against the Israeli government due to unrescued hostage, they don’t care at all about the Palestinians.

        Yeah on a broader scale these people are victims of their government’s propoganda in the same way Trump supporters are victims of propoganda, but that doesn’t mean you have to defend them.

    See? Hamas won’t negotiate a ceasefire! They’re only to blame for the suffering of their own people!

    -Zionists probably
