Blinken calls for Hamas to accept ‘extraordinarily generous’ cease-fire deal

Hamas should accept an “extraordinarily generous” proposal to release Israeli hostages it is holding in the Gaza Strip in exchange for a temporary cease-fire, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday, speaking at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Hamas is expected to respond to the U.S.-led proposal Monday in discussions with Egyptian and Qatari officials in Cairo.

“Hamas has before it a proposal that is extraordinarily, extraordinarily generous on the part of Israel,” Blinken said during a panel discussion at the WEF.

“And in this moment, the only thing standing between the people of Gaza and a cease-fire is Hamas. They have to decide, and they have to decide quickly,” he continued. “I’m hopeful that they will make the right decision.”

Biden doesn’t want the IDF to win..if Trump were in charge he would have told BiBi from the start “Do whatever you need to do and I will stay out of your way” with Biden since he has so many Jew haters in his party and in his Administration, he has prolonged EVERYTHING making it so much harder for Hamas to be completely taken out

Biden/0bama crowd want a cease fire so they can gather up plane-loads of them and bring them to the USA as “newcomers” with full benefits. Any of the reminder can stay to rebuild their glorious “Palestinian” state of Gaza.

Oh Hamas will agree in order to get enough time to regroup. Their goal is to wipe Israel off the face of the map. A cease fire is a breather for Hamas.

i hope we are throwing in the shipment of the Hamasniks on our college campuses as part of the hostage exchange. i am sure they will make excellent footsoldiers in bombed out Gaza as they can bring their own tents.

Blinken, the hope of the Obama legacy, is irrelevant

If I was Blinky, I’d offer them a boxcar load of Spam. Take it or leave it.

Indeed Hamas knows Biden is an easy touch for cash Biden feels honored to do so it makes him feel liked.

A fool and money are soon parted.

Why would an nonest broker demand anything less than a full release of the ALL hostages?

A partial release leaves HAMAS in possession of enough hostages for another bite at the apple to demand further concessions from Israel.

Then another, and another.....

But that is no doubt what this administration wants in it’s quest to back HAMAS and save them from total annihilation.

“release Israeli hostages”

Ahem...and what if that is no longer possible? As in, they’re dead already.

“proposal to release Israeli hostages it is holding in the Gaza Strip in exchange for a temporary cease-fire”

hamas is unable to accept this “deal” because they’ve already slaughtered all of their hostages ...
