US says it has 'already narrowed some gaps' in talks, but sources tell MEE that Netanyahu's conditions are an obstacle and 'positive' media leaks are unfounded

Sources from within the Palestinian movement Hamas told Middle East Eye on Friday that “the Israeli delegation’s primary efforts were to add Netanyahu’s conditions to be part of Biden’s proposal.”

The sources added that “Hamas categorically rejects Netanyahu’s conditions”.

Commenting on media reports on the latest Doha negotiations, the source said: “All the Israeli and international media leaks portraying the talks as positive, are unfounded and misleading. They [the Israelis] seek to gain time hoping to contain the regional escalation following the assassination of Haniyeh.”

      I do not like the idea of the collective guilt. It is totally right imo to hate politicians and soldiers. But to hate the whole country is a bad way imo.

        Generally when people say “fuck <country>” they’re referring to the political entity. No one here hates an entire country of people.

        I mean, there are a lot of Zionists in Israel, not just in government. Don’t forget that there are citizens stealing homes from Palestinians just because they know the Israeli government has their back. There’s also rampant discrimination against Palestinians in Israel, and there really hasn’t been many anti-war protests on the side of “stop what we’re doing to Gaza.” Most of the protests have been against the Israeli government due to unrescued hostage, they don’t care at all about the Palestinians.

        Yeah on a broader scale these people are victims of their government’s propoganda in the same way Trump supporters are victims of propoganda, but that doesn’t mean you have to defend them.

        Yes, I mean the Israeli government. As far as collective guilt? I hope you have the opportunity to Read this article. It’s long but very much worth the read. Take a moment to understand what the author says when Israelis tell him they have no room in their hearts to feel empathy for Palestinian children and families. It’s awful to hear another human being not able to show empathy for the loss of a child. Much more when the children’s body count is in the thousands.

        Israelis are good people, for the most part. Their government? Not so much.

        Excerpt from the article:

        Meeting my friends in Israel this time, I frequently felt that they were afraid that I might disrupt their grief, and that living out of the country I could not grasp their pain, anxiety, bewilderment and helplessness. Any suggestion that living in the country had numbed them to the pain of others – the pain that, after all, was being inflicted in their name – only produced a wall of silence, a retreat into themselves, or a quick change of subject. The impression that I got was consistent: we have no room in our hearts, we have no room in our thoughts, we do not want to speak about or to be shown what our own soldiers, our children or grandchildren, our brothers and sisters, are doing right now in Gaza. We must focus on ourselves, on our trauma, fear and anger.
