Hamas doesn’t take responsibility for its actions, political choices or even its violent means because there is a leader like Benjamin Netanyahu who takes all the blame for perpetuating the conflict in any case. Yet he is not solely responsible for the failure of the ceasefire

Israeli PM Netanyahu has the full support of Trump, for whether he decides to continue the truce or resume the war. Hamas is still standing in Gaza and that’s a hard fact to come to terms with

Given the complexity of the Palestinian national movement, Hamas’s radical ideology and Iran’s religious revolutionaries, the way ahead in the Middle East may be through the extension of the Abraham Accords and dictated deals that can cease the violence

Netanyahu knew that it did not matter that Biden sided with the pro-democracy movement before October 7 and that he could ignore “red lines” drawn by the White House. He was invited to America by Congressional leaders and House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican

Israel’s government wants to keep the army in Gaza for an infinite period while disallowing a political solution. Such a unilateral policy is not working well for the Biden Administration as it faces mounting criticism within America and abroad for giving Israel such massive leeway
