The first kid saying how delicious, I'll never forget :mjcry:

Hamada is trying to get out of Gaza so his wife can give birth... he has a fundraiser on his account to also get his parents, siblings and in-laws out.

Egyptians charging $6000 per person to leave the Rafah gate :smh:

On this point theres a clear disconnect between Hamas’ political arm and its military arm.

In that same article, Mr. Naim claimed his group is prioritizing Palestinian elections and a way “to launch, with the aid of the international community, a political track which can end with an independent Palestinian state on 1967 borders.”

They seem to be self aware that a united PLO with all factions is needed and their only path to power is to advocate for the 1967 borders. There’s reference to Russia hosting all Palestinian factions to reconcile.

Sinwar and the military leadership are clearly irrational and believe acceleration to the conflict being unsolvable. Not unlike Likud.

There are many other points that Naim and Abu Marzouk made where they are delusional.
Israel will never agree to any 1967 borders.
The Arab states lost the war. Losers of war don't get to make any rules about land in a war they started.

Tell that to America and the rest of the international community

Hamas have the power to stop the upcoming Rafah offensive.
They know what to do but they choose not to.
Well, if they do that how can folks spin that Iran forced the US and Israel into a ceasefire?

Conversely, the Israeli belief is Hamas won’t agree to a ceasefire without military pressure in Rafah.

At this point it’s clear that both Hamas and Israel enjoy the humanitarian crisis because they believe it benefits them

Israel is content with their max brutality campaign they’re running even if it doesn’t bring home hostages. I think that much has been clear.

on the same token, it’s been pretty much universally accepted that the last round of negotiations also hit a major hiccup due to Hamas being able to produce the 40 hostages. The belief there being the criteria given did not produce 40 hostages alive in those groups.

So now they’re being told they need to come up with 40 hostages who are alive.

But as I said, both groups seem to be against any deal that the other can spin as a win. I don’t think a ceasefire happens during this round of negotiations until both sides come off their positions a bit further.

For Hamas, that means giving up the idea of a full troop withdrawal.

Israel is going to have to speed up their timelines and allow further movement of Palestinians to northern Gaza with a better day after plan.
