And if I offered to buy the Brooklyn Bridge for a dollar, I’ve made an offer on it…
Just not a serious offer that has any chance of being accepted.
Clearly you didn’t read the article. Your opinions are consistently baseless.
The first phase would last six weeks, and includes “a full and complete cease-fire and withdrawal” of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gaza, the release of a number of hostages, including women, the elderly, and the wounded in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
It’s the most fair agreement I’ve seen yet. There’s a decent chance of acceptance.
A ceasefire and end of war are not the same. The point of a ceasefire is to negotiate the end of war. Open and documented discussion will bring transparency to the agenda of each side. Israel cannot request expansion with the sanctions Biden restored on Palestinian territory. Israel will be forced to form agreements within international law or they’ll provide Biden with documented justification for amendment of support.
It’s only 6 weeks. It’s hard to justify killing prisoners, returning them to the killing fields brings opportunities. Don’t talk about “fair”, it’s a 6 weeks break in the genocide so they can continue bombings later without a chance of hitting their own held hostage there. A “fair” deal would be a 6 months ceasefire which would include 6 months of further negotiations to completely end the violence. 6 weeks is just an opportunity to rearrange and repair their army and airforce for the second destructive wave. There is no “fair” when one side consists of terrorist fighters among millions of civilians and the other side consists of fascists wanting to wipe them out completely. There is no right, only wrong and mass amounts of innocent victims.
Read the article. The first phase is the six-weeks, as I quoted above. These are the second and third phases.
In Phase 2, would include the release of all remaining living hostages, including male soldiers in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. As long as Hamas lives up to its commitments, the temporary cease-fire would become “the cessation of hostilities permanently,” Biden said.
During the six weeks of Phase 1, Israel and Hamas would negotiate the necessary arrangements to get to Phase 2 − a permanent end to hostilities.
“There are a number of details to negotiate to move from Phase 1 to Phase 2,” Biden said.
The proposal also indicates that if the negotiations take longer than six weeks, the cease-fire would continue as long as negotiations do.
Phase 3 would include a major reconstruction plan for Gaza, and the bodies of any of other hostages killed in captivity would be returned to their families.
The point is stopping attacks, returning hostages, and bringing Israel and Hamas to the table for negotiations.
For Phase 2 it would be appropriate to include recognizing Palestine like most countries and removing the Israeli military fence. Among other things, of course.
Why exactly would they remove the fence? Lots of countries (particularly ones with hostile relations) have similar constructions on their borders.
For reasons of Apartheid. More info in this article:
So phase 1 is gazans go home but nothing is done to rebuild until phase 3.
Where would they go? Tents on rubble?
Don’t sweat it, Bibi, it’s just 6 weeks, then the killing resumes!
Missing from the headline:
“In Phase 2, would include the release of all remaining living hostages, including male soldiers in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. As long as Hamas lives up to its commitments, the temporary cease-fire would become “the cessation of hostilities permanently,” Biden said.”
