Go figure!
There is a plan for Gaza that could stop most of the killing but as if right on cue BiBi reject the plan….yes I wrote about the plan when it was announced….
I said then the BiBi would crush any and all attempts top stop Israel’s killing spree….
And now fast forward to this week….
Israel has slammed the door on a Trump-backed roadmap for peace in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said his government is “ruling out” the 15-point proposal, which envisioned Hamas surrendering its arms in stages to a new Palestinian authority while Israel gradually pulled out of the parts of Gaza it still occupies, reports the New York Times. Israel instead wants Hamas to fully disarm before it pulls out, but Hamas says it won’t disarm until Israeli forces are gone
“Israel rejects the 15-point document,” Netanyahu said at a Cabinet meeting on Sunday, per the BBC. His public dismissal marks an unusual break with President Trump, who touted the deal with his “Board of Peace” and Hamas as a major advance late last month. The prime minister, heading into a challenging reelection bid, has pledged “absolute victory” over Hamas since its Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israeli communities. A US-brokered ceasefire in October 2023 paused the fighting but left key questions—above all who ultimately rules Gaza—unresolved.
Of course BiBi had to make it sound like he was open to improvement….
But even with the BoP adopting his talking points, Netanyahu has still rejected the deal. “They (the US) have ideas, some of which are acceptable to us and some of which are unacceptable to us,” he said on Sunday.
Following Netanyahu’s comments, a US official told Israel’s Channel 12 that the US wasn’t concerned, framing his public position as purely political since elections are coming up in Israel. “We understand his political needs [in this election period]. We have no problem with that, as long as he continues to do what we ask — especially as regards reining in the strikes in Gaza,” the US official said.
And then there is Hamas….
Hamas has maintained it won’t go through with the plan unless Israel lives up to its commitments, which include ending its attacks in Gaza and withdrawing back to the original yellow line created after the ceasefire deal was signed more than nine months ago. At the time, Israel was left with 53% of Gaza under its control, but it has increased to about 70% as the IDF has been conducting ground incursions.
Senior Hamas official Basem Naim told Reuters that Hamas was still committed to the plan and called on the US to pressure Israel. “We expect the mediators and the US guarantor to press Netanyahu and his government to adhere to the roadmap and not obstruct the process for internal political and electoral reasons, while continuing to jeopardize the region’s security and stability,” he said.
There is the sticking point….Israel will always find something that they will threaten Israel’s security so they do not have to stop what they are doing in Gaza….and they are trying to rid Gaza of all Palestinians so that Israel can expand even further.

“lego ergo scribo”
That murderer is never going to approve any plan that doesn’t allow him to keep killing everyone in Gaza, and then the West Bank. Trump knows this, and his nonsense ‘peace plans’ are all for show.
Best wishes, Pete.
Exactly he will always find something wrong with any plan….chuq
We all know that Netanyahu is terrified that the war will end because the moment it’s over he’s going to end up back in court on corruption charges and unlike Trump he doesn’t have some kind of fake “presidential immunity” to hide behind.
