How “permanent” is the US/Israeli plan for a “permanent ceasefire” in Gaza? The intentional vagueness of the proposal to bring a “sustainable period of calm” to the Gaza Strip is the biggest obstacle preventing a deal, argues Michael Hanna of the International Crisis Group.

Hanna tells host Steve Clemons that the governments mediating between Israel and Hamas have given the latter “private assurances” that are not mentioned in writing.

This, coupled with the belligerent public statements of Israeli leaders and epic levels of mistrust among all sides, is ruining chances for an end to the catastrophic war in Gaza, says Hanna.

    The US is buying time for Israel to finish its plan. All the dramas, e.g. ceasefire, we have seen are just a show for public.
  • They're saying that but recently voted AGAINST a Palestinian state, which is the ONLY way for peace
  • Israel's dependence on the United States was stated bluntly by retired IOF Maj. General Yitzehak Brick in an interview: " All of our missiles, the ammunition, the precision-guided bombs, all the airplanes and bombs, it's all from U.S. The minute they turn off the tap, you can't keep fighting. You have no capability, ... Everyone understands that we can't fight this war without the United States. Period"----NOV 27,2023

    This conflict has been going on for 76 years.
  • US put the onus on accepting the deal on Hamas knowing it lacked clarity that Hamas would need to ask for guarantees so they could then blame them for derailing the process. This is an old trick they used in the Oslo peace initiative so they could go on to blame Arafat for rejecting a disingenuous and unreasonable offer.
  • 15,694 children have been killed and 17,000 are without parents after 8 months of Israel’s war on Gaza, let that sink in

"It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal," And U.S. has proven him right. Time and again, the U.S. has showed that it is not a reliable ally in global affairs.
  • It looks like Israel is doing America's bidding. Who IS in control of this situation?
  • How can one negotiate with an opponent that wants your total destruction? That really is a non-starter.

    Project Izzy is over .... Facing the truth is the only way to grow as a person
  • The occupation still pursuing with its economic plan for Gaza. Real Estate. Google Gaza 2035. Build the Ben Gurion canal and port on Gaza land the alternative route to the Suez canal. Produce oil and gas from Gaza land. Google, Gaza oil and gas.
  • All these things is basic American foreign secretary Blinken doesn't want to end these conflict as we knows his first trip to Israeli he said I'm not came Israel as American foreign secretary i came here as a Jewish person. So he is the part of the problem.
