Ismail Haniyeh, chief of Hamas’s political bureau who is based in Qatar, signaled on Wednesday that he was interested in negotiating a sustainable ceasefire with Israel.
“We are open to discuss any arrangement or initiative that could end the (Israeli) aggression,” Haniyeh said in a televised speech on the Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa TV.
Suggesting that he favored some sort of two-state solution, Haniyeh said he was open to “putting the Palestinian house in order both in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip” and entering talks that could lead to a “political path that secures the right of the Palestinian people to their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.”
He also called the idea of a post-war Gaza without Hamas “delusional.” According to Al Mayadeen, Haniyeh also said the fight in Gaza was “approaching its honorable end” due to the resistance of Hamas fighters and other militant groups against the Israeli invasion.
Haniyeh’s deputy, Mousa Abu Marzouk, suggested Hamas might be willing to recognize Israel but later appeared to walk back the statement. Abu Marzouk told Al-Monitor, “You should follow the official stance” of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which recognized Israel as a state under the 1993 Oslo Accords.
The following day, Abu Marzouk said there was a “misunderstanding,” adding, “I therefore confirm that Hamas does not recognize the legitimacy of the Israeli occupation and does not concede any of the rights of our Palestinian people. We confirm that the resistance will continue to liberation and return.”
While Hamas leaders outside of Gaza are hinting at negotiations, it’s unclear if they are speaking for officials inside the Strip. There’s also no sign Israel is interested, as Haaretz reported on Wednesday that the Israeli war cabinet blocked Mossad chief David Barnea from traveling to Qatar to restart hostage negotiations.
I feel a strong possibility for PEACE, I do! Let us get it done!
Hypocrite.
How so? This is how the IDF negotiates: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-war-israel-mistakenly-shoots-dead-three-hostages-northern-gaza Also, there have been times in the past where Hamas has negotiated in good faith only to have the Zionists break the truce.
Now, Donald, you’ll have to cite evidence of when Donnatella has advocated for war or the continuation of one.
You stand disproven on a recent assertion that she cheered on anti-ship actions by Houthinian forces. Unless you want Umpire Sapien calling “strike nine!” on you, maybe pony up some supporting quotes, links, screen-caps.
Of course they might be, that could give them time to rearm, rebuild, continue receiving advanced weaponry and other forms of support from their nation-state backer in Iran. This appears to be another attempt attempting to maximize their advantage in committing terrorism and acts of genocide against the ethnic group they have specifically dedicated their organization to attempting to eliminate: https://disq.us/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.msn.com%2Fen-us%2Fnews%2Fworld%2Funderstanding-hamas-s-genocidal-ideology%2Far-AA1i0jaZ%3AcPp2dhnOy1Q8glT4lLsWw9c-1jw&cuid=18764. To willingly publish, promulgate this as anything other than the cynical ploy it is would be dishonest and false, and as such should be treated with the scorn and derision it deserves.
Can you translate your word salad? What “advanced” weaponry? The Zionists are using guided and unguided missiles, jet fighters, Apache helicopters, tanks, IDF ground units with the latest technology, AI, you get it? Hamas has no weapons to bring down the jets and copters, such as Russian S-300. So tell me, Mirror Edge, was your father or grandfather in the Stern or Irgun gangs in 1948? You are sounding like you have a blood lust for more children, babies, to be killed. For shame, man, for shame. SHam…………….
Perhaps what I’ve stated, i.e. the advanced weaponry they’ve received from their nation-state backer in Iran. Also, the “AI” systems the Israeli Defense Forces have used would certainly appear to be far less “advanced” than dereliction: they basically look at data the IDF would hold along with the relative value of the positions/personnel it would be told to target, giving an answer after presumably feeding it through some “neurons”. The issue: the “AI” is told to draw connections that wouldn’t necessarily correlate to the situations in the real world, something that could easily become far more of a hindrance for sustained combat operations when judgement calls could possibly come down to mere random chance in an artificial system as opposed to the knowledge and experience of experienced professionals. In my personal opinion Israel and the IDF would probably be better off not even using it in the first place, with human personnel perhaps taking over more of the specific role it could have previously held. Additionally, while I’m not exactly sure why I’d be providing this information on an online internet forum, my great-grandfather actually served in the Red Army during the Second World War. The idea that the side supporting a justified self-defense response against terrorism and acts of genocide would secretly only be engaging in it due to seeking to commit genocide themselves is and continues to be false and disingenuous, especially in the context of the proclivity in which “Palestinian” supporters regularly call for the genocide of an entire people while openly engaging in anti-Semitism and advocating for violence. As such, perhaps in the spirit of proportion and restraint the “side” to which you’d appear to rest your final “call to action” should be reconsidered.

Says the guy that supports Putin in Ukraine.
Hypocrite.
I support the peace that there could have been except for the U.S. and U.K. We, the U.S., have attacked other countries on the premise of the Right to Protect, as did Russia to protect the Ukraine citizens in Donbas and Lughansk, who were unfortunate to be Russian speaking and against the U.S. instigated coup in 2014. You know that. You just like to shoot off your mouth, or keyboard, or whatever.
“”Says the guy that supports Putin in Ukraine.- Hypocrite.””
are you the guy that supported Ukraine in Crimea ?
or was that some other hypocrite.
Here is an idea, Putin gets out of Ukraine, The US removes all biolabs and missles from Ukraine, Any states in the north and south whos people vote freedom from Ukaime get their own freedom and country status and Ukraine removes all warfare armaments from their borders. The US stays the hell away from it all and quits encouraging Russia. Zelenski goes back to playing the piano, The world supports everyones right to survive and citizens across the globe get more power over the world warmongering governments. And we all go home.
Can we have it by year-end ? I’m on board with your plan, VW.
“Russia/Putin (verb) (noun)” in an unrelated Comment section.
Those playing along at home, score 10 points.
hey man haven’t you seen any of the Palestine flying-carpet technology ?
dude they fly in on their carpets and then they hover over the Israeli targets and then they rub their magic lamps and make a wish = “”oh magic lamp genie guy, i wish that the Israeli peoples would disappear from the world maps because they are a different religion than we are!””
Sorry, folks. I messed up badly and I’m asking for your forgiveness. I told you they would replace “Palestinian Genocide” with “resuming the peace process.” I was wrong. The word is: we’re calling it, “some sort of two-state solution.”
Hamas hasn‘t changed its negotiating position one iota. They’ve always been open to a ceasefire.
They were very open on Oct 7.
Israel has been very open to ending the occupation, or the blockade that rendered Gaza a concentration camp, huh? 7Oct was a breakout much like the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
i forgive you. don’t let it happen again.
damnit. my wife tells me to “leave the internet alone”
but i would be sad if i couldn’t check out your sarcasm every day.
OMG “check this sh*t out wife!”
she is all, “shut up and make me a sandwich!”
bitch
what
Wut
Luv u 2

Ismail Haniyeh, chief of Hamas’s political bureau who is based in Qatar, signaled on Wednesday that he was interested in negotiating a sustainable ceasefire with Israel.
Imagine if he was based in Iran.
don’t give them any ideas
“…chief of Hamas’s political bureau who is based in Qatar…”
well that is convenient for everyone involved isn’t it.
he/they will always be there calling the shots from behind the scenes.
the never-ending enemy just like bin-Laden who somehow managed to hold on for 10 more years before “uncle sam killed him and threw his carcass from a helicopter into the ocean” in 2011.
never mind that the rest of the world published his obituary in December of 2001 after he died of renal failure. there must always be an enemy to justify the business-as-usual.
“threw his carcass from a helicopter into the ocean” Minor point, he was bury at sea from Carl Vinson ship, not dropped into the sea by a helicopter.
Gotta let the misinformed idiots be idiots.
in fact, bin Laden died of renal failure in December of 2001 and the most of the world ran his obituary in their newspapers. but you are correct; gotta let idiots be idiots.
That is what I have read. He had been on dialysis for quite some time. The raid that supposedly took him out was quite a spectacle, with all of the stars in the drama: Obama, Hilary, et al. A wonderful production of an event that solved everything. The production that was not done was the surge by Obama that kept the sh*t going in Iraq and Afghanistan. There was more, much more to be done. F*cking up Libya was on the horizon.
Libya = Ghaddafi made Libya into what the rest of the world called “the jewel of Africa” – he literally said “Libyan oil for Libyan peoples” – oops, Chevron can’t have that, can they.
also he kept the lower African illegal immigrants from entering his country which after his demise has become the stepping-stone for illegal african muslim immigrants into Europe.
Dont know too much about Ghaddafi,
To me it seems he started out on the wrong foot when he was young but later in life became one of the best world leaders.
I think evil promanent world leaders must have resented that.
If i am correct. I dont come from that region.
He had amazing fashion sense. A litany of different ways to spell his first and last names. And a humble nature that never saw him promote himself to General.
A distinction without a difference. His (the) body was dumped before any real independent verification that it was him could take place.
spy‘s referencing the (more likely true) version of the OBL murder & aftermath, not the MSM official narrative.
I tend to agree with the version, as I recall covered in an essay on antiwar.com after that time, in which the SEAL Team was not keen on what they saw as a hit job (they are honorable men and not paid assassins), they busted into where OBL was housed in Pakistan with KSA funding, shot him down as he fled the room, obtained DNA samples to confirm the kill, then dumped his body over the mountains on their flight back.
The sea-burial was to placate Islamic death rituals and leave no terrestrial shrine.
“The sea-burial was to placate Islamic death rituals and leave no terrestrial shrine.”
Or to cover up the absence of an actual OBL in the scenario.
Israel is much more militant than Hamas. Hamas wants a ceasefire, Israel does not and will only agree to one if the US insists on it but it of course won’t.
Why are others designating what type of world the palestinians will have to live under, Dont the Palestinians have their own collective voice?
