Let's see what happens if the Biden/Blinken team, the Eygptians and the Qataris negotiators reserve a chair for Hamas/Hezbollah with a guarantee of safe passage, I say let's take this historic opportunity (that being the demise of their leadership which has never happened before), and let's get on with a hostage release, a ceasefire and substantive talks towards a two-state solution.

Its doubtful that there will ever be a more prime time to make it happen. Who wants another 75 years of on again-off again war?

If only someone in a position to negotiate for hamas could hear what you say and find it acceptable. Beastly Boy Oct 25 #13

Two parties needed, absolutely. But now long can Hamas hold out with no supplies flowing into Gaza? brush Oct 25 #14
