After rejecting a ceasefire for months in Israel’s struggle on Gaza, the Biden administration desires to see an finish to the preventing.
How “everlasting” is the US/Israeli plan for a “everlasting ceasefire” in Gaza? The intentional vagueness of the proposal to carry a “sustainable interval of calm” to the Gaza Strip is the largest impediment stopping a deal, argues Michael Hanna of the Worldwide Disaster Group.
Hanna tells host Steve Clemons that the governments mediating between Israel and Hamas have given the latter “personal assurances” that aren’t talked about in writing.
This, coupled with the belligerent public statements of Israeli leaders and epic ranges of distrust amongst all sides, is ruining possibilities for an finish to the catastrophic struggle in Gaza, says Hanna.
