After 'OK' Ceasefire Deal by Netanyahu Side: Israeli Anomaly, [1] Begging Biden to Oust Netanyahu Even Before Oct 7th, but [2] 94 Percent Love to Killing Palestinian
arabic, hayat, means ‘life’
Israeli suffered a tragic deadlock. Time is running out. Maybe just days Netanyahu will be ousted from office, IF EVERYONE really patience [and including Palestinian, including HAMAS], with NON-STOP protest since February 2023. Daily, every night, minimum 40k protesters join the rallies, 2nd longest-consecutive protest [day-by-day] after Thailand decade ago. Until October 7th happened.
Now, ‘running out the time’ in United States

a subliminal message from 2 Final of soccer / football, UCL / UEFA Champions League [men] 16 hours ago and UEFA Women’s Champions League. A shift. A seismic shift.
It just Ophir Falks’ mouth, not directly by Netanyahu. About OK, okayed deal, at least 41 hours after Biden remarks.
The latest peace plan for Gaza was given a launch worthy of a historic turning point, with the US president delivering remarks directly to camera from the White House state dining room, declaring it finally “time for this war to end”. Remarks just 60 ft [or less] from Jennifer Koonings, nurse, outside White House. At the moment this note landed to you, will be Day 4 her hunger strike.
I already non-mandatory ‘fasting’ in last 17 years. Mandatory fasting for muslim just 29 days annually, ended, we call ‘Eid El Fitr, Idul Fitri, Eid Mubarak.’. I already fasting at least 340 days / year in last 17 years. For solidarity of hunger strike outside White House by Jennifer, I put myself in last 3 days just eat 1 tiny plate.
Yet even as Joe Biden spelled out the proposal – leading in theory to a permanent end to hostilities, large-scale food deliveries and the start of reconstruction, there was clearly something awry.
If this plan was an Israeli proposal as Biden claimed, why was it being launched by Biden in Washington DC and not in Tel Aviv? It's [PROPOSAL, branded as] an Israel offer, with staged - narrative ‘to push Hamas’ but publicly opposed by Israel’s prime minister. The White House taking Palestinian resistance's own offer and wiping out the authorship and just putting Israel's name at the top is a pretty reprehensible case of diplomatic plagiarism. And Netanyahu quickly rebuffed
There had been no word from Israel. By the time Biden began his remarks [11.17am DC], it was already Friday night in Tel Aviv [6.17pm Tel Aviv], the sabbath was under way and government offices closed. Unsurprisingly Hamas says ‘OK’ with ‘plagiarism ceasefire truce deal’, around 12.55pm DC [or 7.55pm Tel Aviv and Gaza]. Blinken [via twitter] even just tweeted 6.56pm DC, quote ‘…to stress that Hamas should accept the deal’ or 6 hours after Hamas says OK.
When the prime minister’s office did produce a statement in response, it exuded all the reluctance and irritation of a politician roused from sleep, and if we try to detail according to tweet ‘ISRAELIPM’ tweeted at 4.41pm DC or 11.41pm Tel Aviv. Yes, Benjamin Netanyahu had “authorised the negotiating team to present a proposal” but it was one that would “enable Israel to continue the war until all its objectives are achieved”.
First statement: 4.41pm DC or 11.41pm Tel Aviv
new statement by Netanyahu, Saturday 1.50pm Tel Aviv / 6.50am DC
A second statement issued after daybreak [1.50pm Saturday in Tel Aviv / 6.50am DC] was even blunter. Any plan that did not achieve Israel’s war aims, including the destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capacity, was a “non-starter”.
US officials argued the deal would fulfil Israel’s essential security requirements so there was ultimately no conflict, but there was no getting around Netanyahu’s choice of language, which made it clear he was not the author of the new plan, but a grudging participant. It also appeared designed to humiliate Biden.
Day 237 is last Thursday, May 29th, 2024 [Tel Aviv time]
Day 218: Saturday, May 10th, 2024 [Tel Aviv time]. I really use The Times of Israel [not Al Jazeera] to make sure Israel media itself admit Netanyahu is bastard liar. Times of Israel [ToI], unlike Haaretz [left wing media], literally far right pro zionist if we try to steelmanning media in Israel.
An experienced communicator like Netanyahu would know that the phrase “non-starter” would appear in the morning’s headlines alongside pictures of the president making his bid for peace.
By now, Biden is used to humiliation at Netanyahu’s hands. In early May, he warned that if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) went into Rafah: “I’m not supplying the weapons”. Three weeks on, Israeli tanks have rolled into central and western Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city, which has been a refuge for more than 1 million displaced Palestinians. Nearly a million have had to flee for their lives once more.
Biden has not delivered on his threat to curb arms deliveries, which would have triggered outrage from not just Republicans but pro-Israel Democrats. Administration officials have instead sought to parse what “going into Rafah” means. When he issued his ultimatum a month ago, Biden had suggested it meant the IDF advancing to the city’s “population centres”. That has clearly already happened, but US officials are now arguing the forays so far have not been “major operations”.
It was left to the administration’s head of international aid, Samantha Power, to point out that even with supposedly limited operations, the humanitarian impact was just as bad and that “the catastrophic consequences that we have long warned about are becoming a reality”.
As for the proposal itself, there is a lot of old wine in the new bottle. Phase one involves an exchange of wounded, elderly and female hostages for Palestinian detainees during a six-week ceasefire, the same basic plan that collapsed at talks in Cairo just under a month ago after months of haggling.
Getting to phase two in the new plan involves the same sort of wishful thinking as the old plan – that carefully chosen words could bridge the divide between Hamas’s demand that the cessation of hostilities be permanent, and Israel’s insistence that the war must continue up to Hamas’s destruction.
Biden’s claim to be presenting a new plan did have some substance. A week ago in Paris, the CIA and Mossad chiefs, William Burns and David Barnea, met the Qatari prime minister, Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, and made progress on a revised framework.
Barnea offered some Israeli concessions. They would accept fewer hostages, there would be an agreed target for the level of humanitarian assistance (600 trucks a day), and the right of displaced Gazans to return to their homes right across the coastal strip was underlined.
Just as importantly, Israeli negotiators accepted that even if the parties had not reached agreement on the conditions for phase two to begin after the six weeks of phase one, the ceasefire would be extended as long as talks continued, so an impasse would not trigger renewed bombing.
According to news website Axios, Netanyahu initially rejected the new proposal, but relented under pressure from the military and intelligence chiefs and the other members of the war cabinet. That would explain why he left it to Biden to unveil the plan, and his less than half-hearted response.
That response was a reminder to the US president of the limitations on his influence in the region. Netanyahu, who on Saturday accepted an invitation to address a joint session of Congress in coming months, has the power to do further damage to Biden’s frail election campaign.
Biden cannot do the same to Netanyahu. The Israeli prime minister’s political career rests instead in the hands of far-right members of the coalition, who say they will walk out if he agrees a ceasefire deal.
For its part, Hamas responded to Biden’s announcement by saying it was ready to respond to the proposal “positively and constructively”. But it has a record of changing its position radically in the course of negotiations, and for failing to come up with basic requirements for a deal, like the list of Israeli hostages it would exchange.
The new peace plan faces the same fundamental problem as its predecessors. On Friday Biden talked about the thousands of lives lost on both sides, but those lives are not a priority for either side.
The Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, was ready to see it burn in the hope that it would bring the region down in flames and leave Israel in ashes. For Netanyahu, political survival and insulation from looming corruption charges depend on the war continuing.
At least the ceasefire talks will start again, bringing a small measure of renewed hope, but if they are to succeed, it will have to be in spite of the leadership on both sides.
