US Says New Hostage Deal Proposed by Hamas is a “Breakthrough” | Firstpost America

The White House has described the latest Hamas ceasefire proposal for Gaza as a “breakthrough” establishing a framework for a possible hostage deal but warned that difficult negotiations remained over the implementation of the agreement. A senior US official said Secretary of State Antony Blinken received the latest Hamas offer “a couple of days ago” and had been studying it ahead of a 30-minute telephone call between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. US officials had said an earlier Hamas response contained negotiable elements but some that were not. The White House's reaction to Hamas’s new response was much more positive, however, Netanyahu has raised his doubts on the deal despite sending a delegation to mediate the new deal with Qatar and Egypt.

    Looking at the recent statements by Israel, I don’t expect any outcome.
  • @cliffn3947
    War (I hate to say) is the likely outcome of any deal 😢
  • @davidkeyx
    Hamas knowing it has lost is seeking a deal, why didn’t they seek a deal before October 7th
  • @tabuiakazeem
    When Hamas agreed at first for ceasefire , Netanyahu rejected . Why now , Israel has agreed for ceasefire ? Israel know now and feel The resistance from Hamas is no joke
  • All I know is "God is Not happy with neither side!" 2 wrongs don't make a right.😢
  • I really understand the pain of family members who are hostages but if Israel allow Hamas this will send very dangerous signal to other psycho Islamic groups
  • 😅i agree with u lady, The world need a ceasefire imagine the hostages and their families what they r praying for, Everyone is praying for peace exept Netanjahu and that funny and ugly minister they have He really likes to dance, I cant stand him, He should be the number one hostage and Netanjahu number two,

  • What a sad state of using innocent humans. Shame. Disgraceful and disgusting.
  • @buildit000
    If Blinking is involved….. It won’t work. Netanyahu is playing this fool like a fiddle. FJB
  • The official statements of the Israeli army about the great desire to complete the new prisoner exchange deal that is being discussed in Doha reveal a deep division between the military and political leadership in Israel, as well as the extent of the military and psychological defeat that the occupation army is experiencing, which will be clearer and clearer after the war stops. They are defeated. They fight a fight of despair and arrogance.
  • @SamuelAmosah
    Do you want to keep Hamas still in Gaza? Strange.If you don't fight today you would live to fight Hamas tomorrow.Be careful Isreal.
  • How can Israel sustain its unity after October 7? Since the October 7 attack, we are not expressing hatred toward each other because our pain is much greater. But we are not far from how things were before October 7. We could return to that previous state in a matter of days. It is also important to note that our divisiveness throughout the year weakened us and strengthened those who wished to attack us. A captured Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7 attacks stated how the ongoing protests and demonstrations in Israel encouraged Hamas during their preparations for the attack. When outside influences that pressure the formation of our unity move away, internal feelings of hatred resurface. We might believe that coming closer during tough times lets us develop while maintaining that closeness. However, this idea is incorrect. We need to undergo a reset and rebuild our unity from scratch, without external pressure dictating our actions but out of our own choice to live in a common connection to each other, with a spirit of unity, support, care, encouragement and closeness dwelling in our relations. When we are in a conflict of opinions, we need to equally respect those who we are against, acknowledging that they might also be right and have their own opinions, and that their opinions represent other people and citizens. Thus, we indeed should take heed to treat each other with more kindness. Unity means that we are ready to set aside our own opinions in order to unite with others.
