That is what Joe Biden demanded of the Israelis, Hamas and representatives of Qatar and Egypt who are trying to broker a cease-fire agreement. As though he were the party in interest. The Telegraph interprets Biden’s motives:
Mr Biden is under major pressure from voters over the US alliance with Israel, and the president was punished at the ballot box by protesting young Democrats in the primaries last week.
So what would a proposed deal look like?
A potential deal could include a six-week pause in fighting, the release of approximately 400 Palestinian prisoners in return for the freeing of 40 Israeli hostages, as well as preparation for a gradual return of Palestinian citizens to the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
Why 40 hostages? Why not all of them? Why should Israel even discuss a proposal that does not include a total release of kidnap victims? And how about a Hamas surrender? Normally, when a country starts a war and then loses it, if it wants the fighting to stop it has to surrender. It is bizarre that some people take seriously the idea that Hamas should survive the war it foolishly started.

The World is laughing at us.
Why is peace in one war (Israel/Gaza) so much better than peace in another war (Ukraine/Russia). Those people seem to be picking their battles, but peace is peace, and it is usually better than war. If one war should be stopped, they should all be stopped.
Excellent post—you nailed it.

It’s all about the Muslim vote - but you knew that …
Seems to me we once had the man who literally wrote “The Art of the Deal” in the office you currently occupy, Joe. The only deal you seem to be capable of negotiating is chocolate chip versus cookie dough.
Yeah, I knew that. Plus it’s about all their stinkin sympathizers.
Holding hostages is a war crime.
They need to be released at once, unconditionally!
How about .....
I got your deal right here !!
Some body gets mud stomped until they cry uncle and tap out.
and if anybodies buddies jump in ... then every body jumps in ...
Satan is in two places at once...The pope and our illegitimate president at the same time....I pray this evil man rots slowly and feels every ounce of pain with never passing out.
I don’t think they are laughing. I think they are recognizing that Biden is a headache for everybody, and they don’t know what’s coming next from this guy.
A Handbook for Military Government in Germany was ready in August 1944: it advocated a quick restoration of normal life for the German people and reconstruction of Germany. Henry Morgenthau Jr. brought it to the attention of President Franklin D. Roosevelt who, after reading it, rejected it with the words:
Too many people here and in England hold the view that the German people as a whole are not responsible for what has taken place – that only a few Nazis are responsible. That unfortunately is not based on fact. The German people must have it driven home to them that the whole nation has been engaged in a lawless conspiracy against the decencies of modern civilization.

It's not about you, you petulant toddler.
Congratulations!
You have forced me to, for the first time in my life, agree with Franklin D. Roosevelt.
May he continue to rot in hell.
