Public sentiment surrounding the Gaza ceasefire negotiations is predominantly negative, with a general frustration and skepticism towards both Hamas and Israel. While a faction expresses support for Israel, there is widespread condemnation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and anger over perceived injustices and the lack of genuine progress towards peace. Many comments reflect a desire for immediate action to address the suffering of civilians, amid a deep skepticism about the political motivations behind the ceasefire talks.

Hamas

Israel

International Community

Welp that's depressing. He likes to announce ceasefires before they are done or announce they are almost done before they are being worked on, to try to have the pressure spur themm to finish. Fuck trump, fuck israel.

Can't let the week end without Trump being on the receiving end of humiliation from Israel... for himself and for Americans.

I understand why they think we are morons. The tail truly wags the dog.

VajennaDentada

He's just being passive aggressive with Israel. They're used to just passive.

Just some background

Stu_Balls_OC

Unless it includes return of all hostages, there won't be any lasting ceasefire.

c0mputar

Ceasefire is just that, a temporary stopping of bullets and bombs and unless Hamas publicly renounce destruction of Israel it will be back like a weed left with root intact to grow back.

macross1984

Fuck Hamas. Return the hostages, then talk.

hara90

so with Iran broken and proven to be vulnerable, their proxy puppets finally feel like they can't win anymore?

whelp here comes Trump's beach resort I suppose

I mean the europeans can cry and complain about israel bombing the hell out of gaza, but they can't do anything because they don't have an army like the USA

I would stop agreeing to cease fires since Israel just immediately breaks them and goes “IT ISNT BROKEN ID YOU DONT RETALITATE”

False flag attack once all hostages are returned, Israel invades again, Palestinians are whipped out and Trump gets his middle east riviera

If any of this was self-defense, would you need to fabricate justification?

Primary_Cry_45

He was still the minister of defense back then. Why didn't he speak out and expose the lie instead of allowing Netanyahu to use it as an excuse to sabotage the deal?

Because he doesn't give a shit about the lie, the sabotaged deal, the captives, or the Palestinian lives lost since then due to his silence and complicity. He's speaking out now to smear Netanyahu and enrage the protestors further. 

It's all about politics and his ambitions.

How is this not negotiating in bad faith: Hamas says that it wants
“ a US guarantee that the war would not resume if talks on ending the war failed.”

Like the whole point of a successful agreement would be to end hostilities. If engaging in talks ends hostilities, then the talks would be fruitless and Israel won’t have as big of a bargaining chip to use.

sportsDude

Nothing positive about it. They will not be allowed to re arm. This is a surrender. The sooner they figure that out the sooner this is over.

renge-refurion

Nothing positive about Hamas, even if there is a ceasefire the ultimate end goal must be the eradication of Hamas, they cannot be allowed to stay in power in Gaza if there is to be long term peace

DavidOC93

&gt;A senior Palestinian official told the BBC that Hamas had requested several changes, including a halt to a US-backed aid system and a US guarantee that the war would not resume if talks on ending the war failed.



....lol? 

If there's a GUARANTEE that the war would not resume if the talks fail, what's the point in even conducting actual talks on ending the war?

Such a precondition would just encourage and reward bad faith negotiations on the part of Hamas.

fury420

All of these ceasefires just prolong this already too-long war.

alotofpisces

Wow one guy is calling Arab-Americans "gullible morons." He must work for the DNC voter outreach department.

“These people are so dumb they think politics work like a movie.”

Says the people who can only understand politics through movie and pop culture references, thinks everything is good vs evil, and legit believes things about republicans that are exaggerated into the wildest plot lines 

Theamachos

Just one of many, many Ls they will be racking up over the next 4 years.

banalfiveseven

&gt;Didn't he ban Muslims from entering the country? lol this country has the attention span and memory of a flea

That's an impressive amount of irony.

Anaeta

I would not be surprised. The democrats picking up the neo-con refugees from the Trump Massacre '16 meant they gained a group of people that really really enjoy getting America involved in conflicts that get drawn out for decades with no real off-ramp or picture of what post-conflict looks like. 

So them taking advantage of Israel-Gaza in the attempt to continue the conflict there indefinitely in order to ??????? Profit while also alienating large diverse swaths of key Muslim voter groups in key swing states, as well as traditionally Democrat leaning Jewish voters &amp; supporters at a time that they claim is the most important historic election where democracy itself is on the line would be absolutely hilarious to me.

Inch_High

Ah yes, classic Israel, always breaking ceasefires with the poor, innocent, peaceloving Hamas and other terrorist orgs.

Remember, if you ignore history, you can make it be whatever you want!

Person5_

Lol they’ll be calling Trump anti-Semitic for putting pressure on Israel

littleweapon1

It’s insane how many times they end up being completely wrong and still never learn

OkYogurtcloset2661

I for one kind of hope they finish the job

Tango-Actual90

It was never about the Palestinians was it?

Or maybe it was. It was about killing them. The "4 more years" chanting was beyond satanic.

SonarioMG

I think that sub is a honeypot to attract the dumbest redditors.

burtgummer45

I read that as “leopard sat e my face”

1EyedWyrm

&gt;Something tells me they will regret this...


In other words, the LeopardsAteMyFace Redditors don't actually have an example of Donald Trump being a "leopard" who is betraying his own supporters, so they're just hoping this will end poorly so they can claim they were right about Trump all along.

Dolphanatic

Trumps "promises" mean even less than any other politicians.

keeleon

Phase 2 is where the ceasefire stuff starts and phase 2 is never going to actually happen.

It’ll be a hostage trade and that’s it.

Edit: which is a good thing. Ceasefires are what Hamas uses to prepare terrorist attacks in safety. It’s also good that Hamas is essentially admitting that they themselves think several living terrorists are worth as much as a single Jewish corpse.

No_Assistant_3202

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is heading to Washington to discuss a potential ceasefire in Gaza amid ongoing negotiations with Hamas. The visit comes as Israel seeks to advance talks for a hostage release and a 60-day truce, despite Hamas's demands for changes deemed 'unacceptable' by Israel. Netanyahu insists on a ceasefire that meets Israel's terms and emphasizes the necessity of disarming Hamas.
