Netanyahu Postpones Gaza Ceasefire Deal Over Hamas 'Last Minute Crisis'

www.newsweek.com Netanyahu postpones Gaza ceasefire deal over Hamas 'last minute crisis'

Netanyahu's office said Thursday his Cabinet won't meet to approve the Gaza ceasefire deal until Hamas backs down from what it called a "last minute crisis."

Netanyahu's office accused Hamas of reneging on an earlier agreement granting Israel a veto over which prisoners convicted of murder would be released in exchange for hostages. This disagreement has delayed the Israeli Cabinet's approval of the ceasefire deal.

There never was going to be one. He doesnt want it. His administration doesnt want it.
- Yeah, was pretty dubious about it when I read the headline yesterday.
  
  Edit: Wrong thread.
- Hamas reneged and is claiming it is a crisis that Israel isn't releasing convicted murderers. I have zero fucking evidence for this but it absolutely wreaks of Russia aiding Iran et al into keeping this going until Trump is in office and can claim it as a win.
  
  Yeah my lines of thinking are the same. It has happened before.

The last minute crisis was he learned that there were still some people in Gaza alive.

"Come on guys, I just wanna keep killing people. It's like my favorite thing."
- that and staying out of prison.

He just wants to commit some last minute war crimes.
- Squeeze in a couple before last call

To no one's surprise
- Except the Americans, maybe. To them, that Israel is an honest actor is an (often literal) article of faith.
  Edit: Three days on, this story hasn't exactly held water. I still doubt long-term peace is on Netanyahu's agenda, because of the whole "lost election = jail" thing, but apparently a ceasefire on the way fits in somehow.

Hahahaha, what a predictable asshole.
