US president says he is 'very close' to presenting proposal to free remaining hostages as Israelis protest over latest deaths

Per the rules, this is the original headline. However, the interesting part is that he’s preparing a Gaza offer that he says will be “final”.

They’ve hewn very close to the whole “unconditional support” thing, so I’m curious what that means exactly.

    If only Biden had some kind of leverage he could use on Bibi like putting conditions on arms exports oh wait he completely refuses to do that so this is just bs rhetoric

      Yeah, I’m not sure what the plan is if they turn down the “final” offer. The last time the US bluffed, that I know of, was the red line in Syria, and that involved a place Americans don’t care about, and would have involved another American war in the Middle East to respond to.

      I find “China’s final warning” and actual consequences for Israel equally unlikely. Is there a third option?

        You’re not? The plan is to enable genocide no matter what.

        The US will never stop supporting Israel. They are too dependent on it geopolitically. I believe we may see some more inner political movement against Netanjahu supported by certain US agencies. He will not survive this conflict as prime minister. This will of course not help Palestinians in the long run but it may help with a ceasefire and as a result help the democrats in the upcoming election which would be the main goal right now.
