Hamas Says Blinken ‘Part of the Problem’ as Ceasefire Deal Falters
Breitbart ^ | 06/12/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

A spokesman for Hamas said Wednesday that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was “part of the problem, not the solution” as the Biden administration official urged the Palestinian terrorist group to accept a ceasefire deal.

Blinken has been traveling in the Middle East this week in the wake of a United Nations Security Council resolution that formalized the administration’s proposal for a ceasefire and hostage release, which it said Israel had accepted.

Israel had agreed under U.S. pressure, while insisting on achieving its war goal of destroying Hamas’s military and governing capabilities. (Biden falsely claimed the proposal had come from Israel, which Israeli officials denied.)

Blinkin is stymied after a flashdrive with his favorite music failed to break the log-jam.

Ha! Joe started out with the attention span of a cocker spaniel, in the first place.

Please do not besmirch cocker spaniels by your comparison ;-)

“part of the problem”

As in barging into people’s homes and at a music event and grabbing victims, killing some, kidnapping hundreds as hostages and raping and abusing women?

Suppose that is “part” of it.

Hamas believes all Jews should be killed including all in Israel. Their compromise is “some” killed. Until the next terror event.

All the past Israeli signed deals gave “land for peace” to Egypt and others in return for lessened danger.
None allowed them to have relaxed vigilance for even a moment. Just relatively less (”rockets said to be from renegades in Lebanon” “suicide vest bombing kills 39 in restaurant”).

Blinken usually looks as though he is about to cry!
