#Netanyahu Wants Open-Ended War”: #Palestinian Journalist & Fmr. Israeli Negotiator on #Gaza Ceasefire

September 16, 2024

As #Israeli forces launch repeated attacks on civilian areas in #Gaza, expand their deadly incursion into the #WestBank and threaten retaliation for strikes by #Hezbollah and Houthis, we discuss ceasefire negotiations between #Israel and #Hamas with Palestinian writer #AmjadIraqi and former Israeli peace negotiator #DanielLevy. Meanwhile, in the #UnitedStates, what Levy calls “the #Biden administration’s slavish devotion to running cover” for Israel’s genocidal assault is threatening the #DemocraticParty’s attempt to hold onto executive power after the upcoming presidential election.

“Netanyahu Wants Open-Ended War”: Palestinian Journalist & Fmr. Israeli Negotiator on Gaza Ceasefire

As Israeli forces launch repeated attacks on civilian areas in Gaza, expand their deadly incursion into the West Bank and threaten retaliation for strikes by Hezbollah and Houthis, we discuss ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas with Palestinian writer Amjad Iraqi and former Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy. Despite apparent divisions among Israeli leadership over the terms of an acceptable deal — if such a deal even exists — all of the Israeli proposals are “united by an assumption that Israel is going to be maintaining overarching control of the Gaza Strip,” says Iraqi. Meanwhile, in the United States, what Levy calls “the Biden administration’s slavish devotion to running cover” for Israel’s genocidal assault is threatening the Democratic Party’s attempt to hold onto executive power after the upcoming presidential election.

"..Palestinian activists no longer care to tiptoe around diplomatic language or references to international laws that have failed them. [..] Invoking #decolonisation shouldn’t entail a zero-sum position that refuses to sympathise with what happened to Israeli families on 7 October, but neither should the killings be an excuse to consolidate #Israel’s apartheid regime and abet its wrath."
