Looks like Israel is about to junk the whole ceasefire agreement before it's even begun.

Reports are saying that Bezalel Smotrich's far-right Zionist party are threatening to collapse the government unless Netanyahu agrees to start the war again as soon as all the hostages are released.

Given that Netanyahu knows he will then have to call an election, which he will lose before facing criminal charges, it seems as though this "deal" is not worth the paper it's printed on.

The "delay" in approving the plan shows that this is what's happening.

Well done, Israel, well done...

'The result of these converging pressures and uncertainties has been to push Netanyahu into declaring what many suspect is a manufactured crisis over the deal, accusing Hamas of reneging while also trying to suggest that Israel will return to fighting in the deal’s second phase.

This “version of the deal”, Haaretz’s Amir Tibon wrote, “appears in statements and briefings published by Netanyahu’s office and his media loyalists where phase two of the deal is a dead letter, and Israel is hell-bent on renewing the war after the completion of phase one, even at the cost of sacrificing its male hostages [still remaining in Gaza after phase one]”.

What will have occurred to many observers is that it has been precisely this concern that has been worrying Hamas’s negotiators, who signed up to the deal all the same.'

No surprise there. The details of the cease fire were pretty much the same as the one he rejected months ago.

Netanyahu is blaming it on everyone but himself. The latter is the real problem.

Yeah Netanyahu is already saying the cabinet will not meet to approve the ceasefire as bombing intensifies.

-Great-.

Israel has never once abided by any agreement with Palestinians. Netanyahu announced a year ago he'd never let his cabinet vote on one. Americans lie and love genocide. No accountability. Ever! Bend over, humanity! Take up your end and smile for Daddy!

For the US, cease fires and withdrawals have come to mean surrender and defeat with politicians attempting to put a positive spin on their failures.

Hamas must go for there to be lasting peace

@MasterLee Nope. Netanyahu needs to go, and new elections held.
