The next step has to be global intervention to protect the Palestinians from Israel and the US.
2 state solution - Palestine and Israel. It's the only answer.

Live of thousands, people lies in few people agreement on their decision.

It is an important first step, but a thousand more are needed for lasting peace.

The SAVAGE Occupation has children of both genders under as young as 12 years old in its jails.
Un Jewish and Un Humane.
These are the very same THUGS who are insisting on the return to war after the release of the hostages.

Hamas must keep it's finger on the trigger simply because 3 main members of the Israeli security cabinet including the fugitive PM are still thirsty for Palestinian Blood.

PM Bibi, Ben-Gvir, and Bezalel Smotrich are three war criminals that needs to be removed for the Israeli government, the time has come for the citizens of Israeli to Vote Out these criminals.

Unfortunately, this ceasefire deal won't deter Benjamin Netanyahu from his goal of annihilating Hamas and as many Palestinians as possible, the more woman and children the better in his mind, fewer to deal with later. He will accuse Hamas of violating the ceasefire and right back down the bloody path! And what about trump, well, he will go along with it and side with Netanyahu cause, why wouldn't he!

Because Hamas will likely break the ceasefire and reap the penalty.

Stop Israel's military genocide..

Cease fire don,t mean peace. Peace will come when the last Israeli has left Palestine.

Biden's swan song.
WoodyLee
The only path forward the Israeli's and the Palestinians is to REJECT the extremists on both sides. For as long as these ideologically twisted minds are still preaching Hate and Rage in Mosques and Synagogues there will never be peace in Palestine and or Israel.

A decade of even more before this current war a prominent Israeli historian and academic described the treatment of the people of Gaza as a "slow moving genocide ".
Who knows what malevolence lies in the hearts and minds of Netanyahu, Smotrich and Ben Gvir.
It is a sorry irony that the world
now relies on POTUS Trump to bring some solution.
He is nothing if not unpredictable.
Maybe he does bring fresh ideas to the table.

The text of the agreement is in Times of Israel todays edition
Joe Biden states this is the exact text he put forward in May last year.
People might ask why the delay ?

The next step is for Hamas to relase the hostages

The next step is for Israel to stop bombing Gaza. last night they killed 90 people.

There are hundreds of food aid trucks waiting on the Jordan border. Israel has refused permission for them to enter.

Says the Netanyahu spokesperson. I thought it was the other way around, like it is often the case, including the 'occasional' bombings of IDF’s Israel killing scores of innocent Palestinians

Actually their wars continue, spy wars. The continue of assassination won't stop their cycle of vengeance!

Biden's final deal in his final weekend.

because Trump forced them to accept it where Biden couldn’t/didnt.
John-San
Wallace, Yes It was the exact deal the Biden admin put together 12 months ago but could not get it across the line because of Netanyahu hold over the Biden admin. He gave Biden the finger and went off bombing embassies and assassinating players. In 2019 Netanyahu defecated on Trump and Trump wanted payback and this is the result coming back to bite Netanyahu rear end like huge big chunks. The Jewish people loved him because he was wanted to destroy Iran destroy Hezbollah destroy Syria. Hamas was not even on his radar back in 2019 when they the Jewish population vote him back in. The Jewish people want him and they can lay in the dirt beside him. Because this is the end of Israel. If you are a jew and really want to live in Palestine they will have except the fact that the world will not except any more of Israel non compliance of accords and deals and resolutions. They have to accept a Palestine with one man one vote system. That it in a nut shell. But there still one more big problem, What to do with the nuclear arsenal ? Will he use them on Iran while he still has some power or see the light and accept the fact that a Jewish state is all but finished.
NB
The Arabs and the Jews have two options. The first option is to live and let live. The second option is to kill and exterminate each other.

Some newspeople, to provide a fig leaf of 'balance' to their reporting, mention that none of the 'prisoners' the scofflaw regime is claiming it will release have been convicted of ANYTHING, and that most of them HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN CHARGED with anything.
Which makes the more common absence of even a fig leaf effort at 'balance' pretty stark.
But even more telling is that including only that fig leaf is as far as they can go and still have their reporting appear in 'our' media.
NB
What do you propose? Do you propose that one nation will commit genocide to the other? Do you propose that the two nations will commit genocide to each other?
What a narrowness of thought.
The two peoples could have prospered and thrived together already since long ago, without a single casualty and without a single refugee.

""Joe Biden states this is the exact text he put forward in May last year.""
Biden may have put forward this plan BUT did NOTHING to implement it or force it.

NB, they had been living together for ages, intermarrying, going into business together, and then a European Jew, looking for a place where Jews could be safe from European racists arrived, and wrote about what a wonderful peaceful place it was. And a bunch of European racists followed and tore apart the peace.
Of course, to 'justify' what they did, they rewrote the narrative about what it was, how the population of the region reacted to their violence, and continue to do so to this day.
