The Guardian: Netanyahu’s response to the ceasefire proposal reflects Biden’s lack of influence

The British newspaper The Guardian shed light on US President Joe’s announcement Bidenregarding the possibility of reaching a ceasefire in Gaza, and said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s response to the first proposal showed its lack of impact, as the occupation announced that its conditions for accepting the deal had not changed.

The recent peace plan for Gaza gained momentum worthy of turning it into a historic turning point, as the US President made direct statements in front of the camera from the official dining room of the White House, declaring that “the time has come to end this war.”

However, even as Joe Biden clarified the proposal – which would theoretically lead to a permanent end to hostilities, large-scale food deliveries and the start of reconstruction – it appeared that the Israeli response was not compatible with the US administration.

The Guardian’s analysis said that if this plan was an Israeli proposal, as Biden claimed, then why did Biden launch it in Washington? There was no word from Israel. By the time Biden began his remarks, it was already Friday night in the Middle East, Saturday had begun and government offices were closed.

When the Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement in response, it exuded all the hesitation and anger felt by a politician awakened from his sleep, the paper added: Yes, Benjamin had “authorised Netanyahu He asked the negotiating team to submit a proposal, but it would have “enabled Israel to continue the war until all its objectives are achieved.”

The second statement issued after dawn was even blunter, asserting that any plan that does not achieve Israel’s war objectives, including destroying Hamas’ military capacity, will be “unsuccessful.”

American officials said the deal would meet Israel’s basic security requirements, so there was no conflict in the end, but there was no way around Netanyahu’s choice of language, making it clear that he was not the author of the new plan, but a reluctant participant. It also appears aimed at humiliating Biden. An experienced communicator like Netanyahu knows that the phrase “incomplete” will appear in the morning headlines alongside images of the president seeking peace.
