“I think what Hamas is doing is something they should have done a long time ago, there was indeed an agreed upon proposal … the Palestinians have accepted with no preconditions, with no changes and no alterations.”
In the midst of ceasefire negotiations, Palestinian analyst Ramzy Baroud emphasizes the importance of Israel respecting the agreed-upon proposal submitted on July 2. He urges mediators to hold Israel accountable for their actions and stick to the original terms. Despite Hamas’ willingness to engage in negotiations, Israel’s refusal to honor the proposal leads to ongoing violence and instability in the region.
Baroud condemns Israel’s use of American weapons in attacks on civilians, highlighting the US’ role in funding such atrocities. Hamas, despite showing flexibility and positivity in negotiations, faces Israeli aggression and rejection of ceasefire agreements. Only through mutual respect and a commitment to peace can the cycle of violence come to an end in the region.
