Israeli strikes across Gaza kill at least 235 Palestinians and shatter ceasefire with Hamas [Update @post#234]

And with this single statement. It's now to the death.

My mum always said god gives courage to only those who are on the side of truth.

They never bow down, nor retreat. Nor ceasefire.

I Presume, by this you mean The Palestinians. Opressed for the best part of a Century. Only through Divine intervention, people hold on to this strength.
 
Hamas formally rejects Israeli ceasefire offer

Hamas has formally rejected Israel's latest ceasefire offer, saying it is prepared to immediately negotiate a deal that would see the release of all remaining hostages in return for an end to the war and the release of Palestinian prisoners.

In a video statement, Hamas' chief negotiator, Khalil al-Hayya, said: "We will not accept partial deals that serve [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu's political agenda."

Fifty-nine hostages remain in captivity and 24 are thought to be alive. Israel's latest offer involved a 45-day ceasefire in return for the release of 10 hostages.

Far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said it was time "to open the gates of hell" on Hamas.

Hamas officials had already indicated to the BBC earlier in the week that they would reject the plan.

"Netanyahu and his government use partial agreements as a cover for their political agenda, which is based on continuing the war of extermination and starvation, even if the price is sacrificing all his prisoners [hostages]," Hayya said.

He added the group was "ready to immediately negotiate a deal to swap all hostages with an agreed number of Palestinians jailed by Israel" and end the war.

Hamas has previously said it would contemplate an overall deal to end the war but the two sides are nowhere near any kind of agreement that would bring that about.

Israel's stated aim is the complete disarmament and destruction of Hamas. Meanwhile dozens of Gazans are dying each day in air strikes with no humanitarian aid entering the strip at all.

The latest series of Israeli strikes killed at least 37 people, the majority of them displaced civilians living in a tented camp, according to Gaza's Hamas-run civil defence agency.

Witnesses in al-Mawasi said dozens of Palestinians including children had died after tents were set ablaze following a "powerful" explosion.

"I rushed outside and saw the tent next to mine engulfed in flames," a man told the BBC's Gaza Lifeline programme.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment but said that it was looking into reports of the strikes.

Israel has previously told Palestinians to evacuate from other parts of Gaza to al-Mawasi.

The Israeli military said attacks over the past two days had "struck over 100 terror targets" including "terrorist cells, military structures and infrastructure sites".

Israel said there was no shortage of aid and that it was maintaining the blockade installed on 1 March to pressure Hamas to release the remaining hostages.

However the heads of 12 major aid groups said the humanitarian aid system in Gaza was "facing total collapse".

The war began on 7 October 2023 when Hamas carried out a cross-border attack on Israeli communities, killing around 1,200 people and seizing 251 hostages according to Israeli tallies.

Israel's military campaign against Hamas has killed at least 51,065 people, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

So why does Hamas not negotiate or give a counter ??
 
I Presume, by this you mean The Palestinians. Opressed for the best part of a Century. Only through Divine intervention, people hold on to this strength.
Yeah by rejecting all peace deals and resorting to violent and terrorism. Hamas face mask is well and truly exposed. Let me share something with you .

In 2000 the Palestinians were given a very generous offer for an independent Palestinian state:

  • all of Gaza
  • 94% of WB with land swaps
  • East Jerusalem
  • Palestinian sovereignty and airspace
  • Sharing of Temple Mount
  • 40000 Palestinian "refugees" would become Israeli citizens
  • A road connecting Gaza and WB
The whole world pressured Yasser Arafat (the first Palestinian leader, and also an Egyptian) to take the deal. The Saudi's said it would be a "crime" to reject the deal. Clinton and Dennis Ross all blame the failure of a peace deal on the Palestinian Arabs.

This was rejected without a counter proposal. In fact, Palestinians responded with the Second Intifada, resulting in over 1000 dead Israeli civilians and thousands injured.

Hamas have 0 leverage now. The Palestinian Authority is weak and illegitimate. Arab states have normalized with Israel.

The idea of 40000 Palestinian Arabs "refugees" coming in to Israel now is unthinkable. The idea of splitting up Jerusalem is impossible. Israeli settlements have only grown, making map realities eve more difficult.

Palestinians will never get a better deal than what they had offered to them in 2000. They would be lucky to get an Israeli PM to even want to be in the same room with them at this stage. To think how differently the Middle East could be if Arafat (who stole billions of dollars to give to his wife and daughter now living in Paris) actually gave a heck about the Palestinian Arabs.

It proves 2 things:

  1. Hamas do not care about building a state, but destroying Israel.
  2. Hamas never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity, from the river to the sea

Maybe you should come down from cloud cookoo Land and live in reality world.

 
A lot of this war is because Palestine wants more than what they already deserve. I think that whole "From the river to the sea, Palestine will free" is yes an anti-Israeli policy, but let's be real here if the Palestinians had the power they would genocide the Jews in a heartbeat. Like I'm trying to be bipartisan and I acknowledge the Israeli government is absolutely horrible, but Palestine just keeps giving me reasons to have the peace talks swing more into Israel's favor.

You keep rejecting repeated deals , and you expect the other party to give you concessions. Doesnt work that way in reality. You sow what you reap. Hamas asked for it and is getting it back with interest .

Stop the whataboutery. The zionests extremists have no plan for peace, nor a two state solution.

The Greater Israel plan was formed decades ago by the colonial European zionest extremists.

So any response to why Palestine rejected the above peace deals ? It was a complete 2 state solution. Why did they reject it ?

If its not whataboutery, then you must have comprehension issues. There was never a 2 state solution in reality. Only time any solution for peace was seriously instigated was under Yitzhaq Rabin and Arafat . Rabin was then assassinated by a zionest extremist.


And off course we have the Greater Israeli Agenda. Mass annexation of territory beyond its borders.

He wont answer that. He cant answer that. His religious belief doesn't allow him to answer that. He is a blind bhakt of Hamas where he can't see them doing any wrong. As you rightly said this conflict could have been resolved as soon as Hamas agree to the deal and release the hostages. Every neutral observer can see it except these Hamas loving momins who will give you every possible excuse and then will shed crocodile tears on Israel's brutality.
