Public sentiment is largely characterized by frustration and skepticism regarding the Gaza ceasefire negotiations. Many commenters express anger towards both Israeli and U.S. leadership, viewing the negotiations as insincere and driven by personal agendas rather than genuine intentions for peace. There is considerable concern over humanitarian issues in Gaza, with an emphasis on the suffering of civilians and a strong demand for justice regarding Palestinian rights.

Negotiations are tough when you’ve lost.

arrogant_ambassador

10 hostages only? How about all the hostages, hamas surrender?

Musclenervegeek

Yes it usually is difficult to negotiate when you've lost a war, all your allies have been knocked out of the war, the people supplying you with weapons have lost a war and tens of thousands of your militants are dead fighting a force that outnumbered them 8:1 from the start.

Substantial-Newt7809

It's to bad that hamas hates palestinians more than anyone.

giggitygigaty

Lol, do they expect Israel to release 1000 Hamas members in return

ProximatePenguin

it seems hezbollah &amp; iran love their people more than hamas do to theirs. hezbollah/lebanon decided to signed that ceasefire agreement even if it's disadvantageous to them. iran ignored israel's bye bye plane so that the war would stop. i don't understand why the eu &amp; un are so adamant in protecting the status quo. can't they see how the status quo is not good for the region? hatred is so potent that if hamas stays and do oct 7 once again, i think israel would just kill every gazan living in the area.

Dangerous-Cry1785

The problem is that Hamas can never release all the hostages. No matter what is offered.. because that's their only leverage. Without hostages they have no way to influence events at all

That might just be all they have left to bargain with because the rest are dead.

What happened to tRump threats about releasing hostages…must have been too hard, got bored, or just couldn’t do it.  Like the Mexico to pay for the wall, getting Ukraine to surrender in 24 hours, having COVID just fade away, finish the infrastructure bill, etc.

“10,000’s of Palestinians misplaced” the math is not mathing here - if 70% of ALL buildings have been reduced to rubble, from 2.2 million people, there would only be some form of shelter for about 750k people maximum right? Is this reporter again using carefully selected adjectives and statistic statements to generate a subconscious diminution in viewer’s minds in order to allow a genocidal holocaust to continue with a reduced level of resistance or outrage?

oztourist

Yeah because all of the hamas leadership is living the good life in fucking Doha while they do everything they can to sacrifice as many Palestinians as possible.

All of their negotiators should be arrested and held.  It's the absolute least every government can do.

That's what they deserve for killing negotiators and journalists for decades.  That's what they deserve for 100 years of terrorism and genocide.

No negotiations - Genocide Convention and arrests.

Professional_Pop2397

 They would probably murder the Palestinian negotiator en route. You just can’t trust these b****++s

Affectionate_Move134

How many times has this pattern repeated itself?

curiousabtmongol

What is the point to inviting these liars to negotiations. Qatar should no longer host Israel for any serious negotiations.

salkhan

will bibi nazi yahoo be arrested for crimes against humanity if he travels to the us?

While attacking the starving victims of their genocide gaza

Frequent_Shoulder_77

Well look at that, Israel being greedy yet again and thus screwing the ceasefire… Obvious this would happen, Israel’s goal is not peace but the full elimination of Gaza and all of Palestine. They don’t want peace.

MechaCoqui

Of course - that was the entire plan... GENOCIDE! The forcible expulsion of people from their homeland.

There is never going to be peace under Netanyahu. Bibi knows that once the war ends, his coalition will collapse and he’ll be thrown out of power. He wants to keep this war going to keep the extraordinary power he has been given.

BardyMan82

Yet Israeli sympathizers will claim Hamas doesn’t want peace because they turned this offer down

GoatTheNewb

It just breaks my heart. Gazans need the relief of a ceasefire *now* - things have never been so horrible. That Israel can continue to lob absurd demands at Hamas that (intentionally) sabotage talks is crazy-making.

kakegoe

If I'm being honest, this is "generous" compared to what i thought they would offer.  Still totally unreasonable but still.

mmmmmmmm28

Can’t wait to see all the comments online blaming Gazans and repeating for the millionth time that “if only CHAMAS would return the hostages this would all be over!!!11!” and ignoring all the unreasonable conditions that Israel was actually imposing for a ceasefire.

FailFodder

HippoRun23

If Hamas agreed to this, the ceasefire would've maybe lasted a week or so and then Israel would've just started bombing the strip again. Then they'd demand another 40% to stop again for another week.

matango613

Starting to think that short of a 1-state solution, Gaza and the west bank should both be administered exclusively by Israel's muslim-majority neighbors, until they can stand on their own.

TimpanogosSlim

Fuck Hamas. They need to go for there to ever be peace..

StrangerFew2424

It's gonna work this time guys, I just know it.

AdeptFelix

They're not gonna be allowed to hold ceremonies as part of the deal cos last time they turned it into a victory parade and celebrated the death of a child they had murdered 

Normal-Ear-5757

lol this ceasefire will go as well as negotiating one with Putin

Died_Of_Dysentery1

No negotiations with terrorists.  Hamas must cease to exist so it can no longer promote kidnapping, rape, murder and terror.

abc123DohRayMe

I see no reason for Israel to stop until Hamas has unconditionally surrender and returned all hostages. 

Hamas doesn’t give a shit about the civilian population.

Ilikevegetablesalot

Just give the hostages back, and all the suffering will be over.


Just give the hostages back, and there will be an end to the horror.


That Lord Humongous, such a great speaker.

I'd have more belief in Baron Harkonnen to actually keep the word and end the war through negotiations, only way how I see this conflict ending with chance for peace is Hamas unanimously surrendering, letting ALL hostages go and fucking the hell off out of existence instead of signing another ceasefire only to regroup themselves and cause another massacre to blame Israel for sometime later

danoB003

newbyoes

Sounds like the usual setback. Israel doesn’t want an end to the genocide.

OdielSax

agelessdope

I think there is enough pressure from Qatar via the US that Hamas may capitulate.  There are signals in Qatar, where they have disarmed Hamas leadership in their country and put forward their proposal which Israel has accepted, that they are no longer willing to support Hamas as a resistance instrument.

Iran is not in a position to help rearm Hamas.  In Israel, Lapid has moved to join the coalition that Smotrich and Gvir are threatening to blow up which removes their power.  

Hebron has put a proposal forward where their local leadership will acknowledge Israel and join the Abraham accords.

Everything is lining up.  Please Allah/Jesus/Hashem.. let it be so.

PotentialIcy3175

Didn’t know people being genocided can have terms for ending the genocide and terms for the releasing of the genociders hostages. Thats a first. 

Popular-Citron6396

This is the same as it’s always been. Hamas is demanding too much ransom for the hostages.

manhattanabe

Or they can give back the hostages. Simple.
