Mediators herald Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal. Israel says final details are in flux
apnews.com
Mediators say Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire deal to pause the devastating 15-month war in the Gaza Strip, raising the possibility of winding down the deadliest and most destructive fighting between the bitter enemies.

“U.S. President Joe Biden then touted the deal from Washington, saying the ceasefire will stay in place as long as Israel and Hamas remain at the negotiating table over a long-term truce. Biden said his administration and President-elect Donald Trump’s team were “speaking as one” in the negotiations.”

    FTA:

    “Any agreement must be approved by Netanyahu’s Cabinet.”

    So be prepared for the whole thing to fall apart still. In theory the vote will be Thursday.

        I’m hopeful as the prime minister of Qatar is making it sound like a done deal, but we’ll see!

      Oh, he already is, despite not being in office and having zero powers of negotiating. Something, something… “the strength of winning the election” something.

    Heard this one before.

    Also, where are all the centrists with their mindless “BoTh SiDeS” now that Trump and Biden have gleefully announced that there is no daylight between them on this issue?
