Israeli Prime Minsiter Benjamin Netanyahu declined Friday to confirm or deny explicitly U.S. President Joe Biden’s claim that Israel had proposed a deal for a ceasefire and hostage release that would keep Hamas armed and in power in Gaza.
, Biden proposed a three-part deal similar to proposals that Hamas had rejected in the past. The proposal never mentioned disarming Hamas and would effectively leave Hamas in power.Yesterday, this proposal was transmitted by Qatar to Hamas.Biden claimed that the Israeli government had proposed the deal — but then, bizarrely, attacked parties within the Israeli government whom, he said, would reject the deal. He added that “total victory” over Hamas was impossible. The timing of Biden’s proposal coincided with the onset of the Jewish Sabbath in Israel, making it impossible for religious parties to respond. Netanyahu is not strictly observant, but tends to avoid statements on the Sabbath. In a statement late Friday night Israel time, Netanyahu responded to Biden without confirming, or denying, that Israel had proposed the deal Biden had described: 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. The two proposals — Biden’s version, and Netanyahu’s version — differ explicitly over the question of destroying Hamas, which Biden’s proposal completely ignores. It is possible that Biden mischaracterized Israel’s proposals to put pressure on Israel. to have accepted a ceasefire — though the terms it had accepted were not ones Israel had actually proposed. Israeli officials laterThe Biden announcement Friday would appear to be a repeated use of the same technique — a media announcement of a proposed deal that Israel has not made, with the aim of enticing Hamas to agree and pressuring Israel to accept.BREAKING: Hamas issued a statement saying it “looks positively” at what was included in President Biden’s speech, mainly his call for a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, reconstruction, and an exchange of prisoners. “The movement affirms…the proposal — and claimed it was Biden’s proposal, not Israel’s: “Today, President Biden put forward a clear, realistic and just plan to establish an immediate ceasefire and end the war in Gaza … I am deeply encouraged by the steady, tireless efforts of President Biden.”on Sirius XM Patriot on Sunday evenings from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET .
