“Biden says Sinwar not doing enough to secure hostage deal”
It’s very difficult to make a deal with someone who wants to throw you in the sea.

Bibi struck a deal with the Orange Poop Stain so the Dems don’t get a ”win”.
Tough luck for the hostages…

Not to minimise or whitewash Hamas at all, what they are doing is evil.
Creating a group of the most visible “hero” hostages and ordering their deaths as retaliation for a rescue attempt is probably one of the most effective methods Sinwar has used in this war.
i just really hope Sinwar doesn’t see how effective this was at getting public opinion against military action and starts bringing more hostages in harms way, especially the kids.

Strange, how people who fundamentally don’t want to do a thing lack in their motivation to then do that thing.

Biden also said Israel should stay out of Rafah, so maybe he should sit this out.

Glad to see Biden got out of his beach chair to make this comment after Israel just found more hostages murdered by Hamas.

Does Biden care if Hamas is defeated? Or is he working on securing a deal on the backs of Israelis at any cost before the elections?

How is this supposed to play out? Hamas hasn’t said what they will agree to in this round of negotiations.
Biden: Agree to the deal! Drop your demand for Philidalphi and Netzarim.
Israeli government: Ok.
….
Then what? It’s not like Hamas has said they agree to a deal with the exception of those two things. We have no clue what their demands are in this round of negotiations.
How does this do anything other than weaken Israel’s negotiating position in order to appease someone who isn’t the folks they are negotiating against?

Has anyone asked hamas to surrender, you know like any reasonable government would do long before now?
No? Shocking/s

I wonder what would happen to a country that attacked the US?

Trying to secure a deal with hamas is like talking to a brick wall. they won’t listen to you but will gladly launch rockets at you behind it.

What an upside down world we live in. A terror group that takes, then brutally executes hostages is barely even mentioned, while the victim state is blamed for not trying to offer a sweet enough deal to these murderers. Ashamed of our president.

This isn’t really groundbreaking, most of Israel appears to think that as well.

Their negotiations need to be televised for all of us to see from now on.

Obviously. There’s no indication Netanyahu wants one.

Hamas doesn’t negotiate in good faith, so maybe there’s nothing Bibi *can* do.

What happened to America not negotiating with terrorists? I always grew up with the understanding if western citizens were taken hostage we would not negotiate with their release but rather to take them by force in order to prevent future reason for hostage taking.
Now here we are with the US president still breathing down Israel’s neck for a “ceasefire”.
Hamas has murdered thousands, and many US citizens were included. It seems too light handed for them to get off with a “ceasefire” and would reinforce that taking hostages is a workable strategy.

He doesn’t want to do anything. That’s all part of his agenda and strategy.

Even though Biden is likely right, it is also one of Sinwar’s strategies to put the blame on Netanyahu according to this recent document uncovered in a tunnel: https://x.com/jerusalemcenter/status/1830526421363576966?s=46
I don’t know if the source is verified so take it with a grain of salt but if this is true then the world is essentially just falling for every trap Sinwar sets in terms of public messaging over this conflict.
I hate Netanyahu and I do think in an ideal world he could have accepted an earlier deal that saw *some* hostages released and then used Hamas’s inevitable breaking of the ceasefire to justify a return to the Philadelphi and gotten everything he wanted from the current deal anyway but I also think that putting the entire blame on him for a move that was ultimately the fault of the terrorists who started this conflict is only going to prolong this war and embolden the far right in Israel

A whole 1 day after an American hostage is found dead and after the last 68 hostage deals with increasingly favorable terms got rejected by Hamas, Biden turns it on Israel.
Jimmy Carter lost re-election over failing to negotiate the return of 1/5 as many hostages.
SlapThatAce on
The Israeli government is working with the mindset that all the hostages are already dead. If they happen to save some then it’s considered a win, but if none are saved then it’s not an “issue”.
TwitchyJC on
Given that Hamas isn’t even at the negotiations it’s pretty brutal to complain about what Israel is doing.Â

It’s embarrassing how somehow Biden continues to fumble this.
The response should be a clear message that the US has okayed any Israeli action on any Hamas leadership around the world. Hamas wants to execute living hostages to prove a point? The cost is the life of every Hamas leader worldwide. Hell release a list of known locations just to prove the point that they’re not safe.
Host Hamas? Cool expect then to be killed in your capital.
Sinwar wants to walk out of this war alive? Sorry shitstain, you’ll be lucky if your body isn’t dragged around like Mussolini.

This from the nation that “doesn’t negotiate with terrorists.” Oh how far you’ve fallen, USA.
Milksmither on
What is there—like 5 or 6 hostages left at this point?
The situation is long past fubar, but Israel can’t just capitulate to demands in order to save the hostages. That’s a surefire way to guarantee another attack of this sort.
