Hamas says latest ceasefire proposal deviates from previous agreements (www.middleeasteye.net)

Hamas will not engage with the latest US ceasefire proposal due to its deviation from President Joe Biden’s deal outline announced in May, sources close to the Palestinian movement told Middle East Eye.

It described the latest proposal as a "reversal" on previous US-backed plans and “an American submission to the terrorist Netanyahu’s new conditions and his criminal plans towards the Gaza Strip”.

The previous ceasefire plan was backed by Biden as “Israel’s proposal” and later adopted by the UN Security Council in June.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday said Netanyahu supports the latest American “bridging proposal” after meeting the prime minister in Israel. Blinken’s comments on Monday “baffled” some Israeli officials who believe Netanyahu’s new position is making a deal much harder to reach.

True but it is a difficult dilemma.

Hezbollah is still launching rocket barrages at israel.

1/3 of the entire Genocide Joe fleet is currently waiting for an excuse for Netanyahu so they can bomb Iran.

Iran is also still developing nukes. Biden has already signaled he wants to start a big regional war when Iran retaliates against israel. So every day Iran waits to build up their supply gives them a military advantage.

That's the biggest part IMO, Iran wants to avoid an Iraq situation. Very different circumstances, but Iraq shows what happens if you are targeted by Empire but don't have WMDs.

Tech has changed and the US is in a different position globally, as a declining Imperial Power.
