Peloni: This ‘deal’ as described by Biden is no deal, it is simply a surrender to Hamas as Greenfield notes. The Prime Minister’s Office released the following response in a tweet on X:
“Statement by the Prime Minister’s Office: The Government of Israel is united in its desire to return the hostages as soon as possible and is working to achieve this goal.
The Prime Minister authorized the negotiating team to present a proposal to that end, which would also enable Israel to continue the war until all its objectives are achieved, including the destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities.
The actual proposal put forward by Israel, including the conditional transition from one phase to the next, allows Israel to uphold these principles.”
These two statements are in no way consistent.
Hamas retakes Gaza and we spend billions rebuilding it so it can attack all over again
Daniel Greenfield | Front Page | June 1, 2024
On Oct 7, Hamas had a Plan A and a Plan B.
Plan A was to destroy Israel and kill all the Jews. Plan B was to pull back, stage ambushes and cry genocide while making up fake casualties and staging atrocities until its Islamist and leftist allies managed to save it while using hostages and their bodies as negotiating leverage.
Biden, who had announced back in December that he had bailed out on supporting Israel, now announced his proposed deal that consists of 3 (actually 4) phases.
Let me break down it down.
Phase 1. Hamas frees some surviving female hostages and returns the bodies of the others in return for Israel releasing hundreds of terrorists. Then Hamas retakes control over populated areas in Gaza.
Phase 2. Endless negotiations for the possible return of the rest of the hostages as Hamas secures its grip on Gaza once again.
Phase 3: US sends billions to Hamas to “rebuild” Gaza in exchange for some bodies of hostages.
Phase 4: Hamas plots its next attack.
The plan, presented as Israel’s proposal, is really Egypt and Qatar’s proposal overlaid on Israel, and now put forward by Biden and endorsed by Obama, whose people are running foreign policy in this administration.
Here’s what Israel and Hamas get under this plan
Israel: Some of the hostages and the bodies of the dead.
Hamas: Gaza, billions in foreign aid to rebulding its infrastructure and the ability to claim victory because it will have actually won the war.
The deal does not require the surrender or elimination of Hamas or, as floated previously, the departure of Hamas leaders.
All Hamas has to do is return some bodies and whatever living hostages are left.
To try and make this palatable, Biden claimed that, “the people of Israel should know they can make this offer without any further risk to their own security because they’ve devastated Hamas form- — forces over the past eight months. At this point, Hamas no longer is capable of carrying out another October 7th.”
At this point. There’s a whole lot that rests on those words.
No one in the Biden administration expected that Hamas was capable of carrying out another October 7th the day before it happened. No one in Israel was expecting it either. But the one thing that is undeniably true is that the likeliest path to another Oct 7 is to let Hamas regroup, retake Gaza and get billions in aid to play with,
Biden’s proposed deal gives Hamas everything it wants and puts it on track to execute another Oct 7.
The only way to stop that from happening is to finish Hamas.
Not even Biden proposed making deals with ISIS. Yet Biden insists that Israel make a deal that will leave Hamas intact and in power. Despite his rhetoric, he’s not helping Israel, he’s helping Hamas.
What is all this deal conditioned on? Qatar and Egypt. Biden claimed that, “if Hamas fails to fulfill its commitments under the deal, Israel can resume military operations. But Egypt and Qatar have assured me and they are continuing to work to ensure that Hamas doesn’t do that.”
The Biden administration will decide if Israel gets to defend itself based on assurances from Qatar, a state sponsor of Hamas, and Egypt, which was caught red-handed with tunnels leading into Rafah to Hamas.
This isn’t an Israeli deal or an American deal. It’s a deal by Islamic terrorists for Islamic terrorists. And Obama and Biden, two men who have done more to empower Islamic terrorists than almost anyone in the White House except Jimmy Carter, have put their seal on it. It’s a bad deal for America, for Israel and for civilization.

The sad reality is that this war must be played out, and while this necessity places both hostages and soldiers in certain peril, it is an unavoidable consequence of not only October 7, but of all the policy blunders which made October 7 inevitable. The books must be balanced, and Hamas will be destroyed, but even its destruction will not bring the ledger back into balance as this war will be played out until victory is achieved. And this all begins with the destruction and ultimate defeat of Hamas, even as it can not end with even this.
Hamas turned down Biden’s ceasefire deal and said NO hostages will be released until Israel pulls completely out of Gaza and stops all aggression and only with a swap deal.
This actually will reduce the pressure on Bibi and the coalition to take this bad deal if Hamas keeps up its irrational demands.

Qatar, Egypt and Bho III colluding against IL!
No temporary ceasefire until ALL hostages released. ALL!
The Prime Minister’s Office:
Israel’s conditions for ending the war have not changed: The destruction of Hamas military and governing capabilities, the freeing of all hostages and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel.

A later tweet said Israel will not end the war until all its goals are met.
That also sounds like Israel is pulling out afterwards from Gaza.
