That is bullshit. Hamas has repeatedly agreed to the Biden proposal and even offered a ceasefire deal with hostage exchange as early as October 2023.

It was Netanyahu always sabotaging the negotiations. In particular after the Biden plan by rejecting to leave Gaza and bombing tents in Rafah, burning people alive.

Also Sinwar wasn't even the negotiator. It was Hanyeh, who got assassinated by Israel, while negotiations were running. A clearer sign of not wanting to negotiate does not exist.

I agree netanyahu's delegation has walked away multiple times but hamas has too. Sinwar was not the negotiator, he was the military commander on the ground so even when the hamas delegation would make progress all decisions on what goes on in Gaza went through him. He wanted a war and was (at least outwardly, judging by his writing) happy to be martyred.

I am not saying Israel is a good or consistent negotiator in this but Sinwar was a terrorist who was keeping hostages as insurance. He decided to do the attack on 10/7. This was a decision he could not get backing for from his benefactors (as far as has been reported.)

Netanyahu knows that the US will not cut off support for them. It's not even seriously discussed in the MSM. Bibi will continue to massacre the Palestinians until they are all displaced or dead. This is the only way he is staying in power. His alliance depends on settlers and other orthodox. That being said, maybe more western countries start pressuring him, cutting aid, air dropping food or something now that Hamas' leadership is being degraded.

Israel has rejected all ceasefire resolutions that would require a permanent peace, like the 3-stage UN Resolution put forth by the US. Hamas has only rejected ceasefire resolutions that would only be temporary, meaning Israel would continue the genocide after they take the hostages, or where Israel wants to continue occupying Gaza, which isn't peace. Kinda hard to 'both sides' the peace negotiations when it's very clearly one sided.

Gaza has never experienced peace, nor has the West Bank, there is no peace living under the daily violence of an Apartheid State.
