The US secretary of state has arrived in Israel for 11th-hour talks aimed at shoring up a deal for a lasting ceasefire in the war in Gaza, amid signals from Israeli and Hamas officials that a breakthrough may not be as close as international mediators had suggested.

Antony Blinken flew into Tel Aviv on Sunday as part of Washington’s renewed efforts to broker a ceasefire in the 10-month-old conflict, negotiations seen as even more urgentafter last month’s back-to-back assassinations of a top Hezbollah commander and the Hamas political chief, Ismail Haniyeh.

It is hoped a ceasefire would lower the temperature in the Middle East and dissuade Iran and Hezbollah from retaliatory action that could cause the war in Gaza to slide quickly into a region-wide conflict.

    All of them would support Israel more without a second thought

    All of them at one point or another cut off weapons/aid to Israel so they’d back off and not commit a full blown genocide…

    Biden hasn’t, and he won’t.

    That’s where he’s different. And I don’t know why people won’t listen to him when he says this.

    Do you think he’s lying?

      I added some links to look at in case you are trying to argue in good faith, there is no point in continuing this exchange.

        A bunch of YouTube links and an accusation that I’m somehow arguing in bad faith…

        For what reason I have zero idea.

        Yeah, there’s no point in seeing any of your comments again.
