The death of Haniyeh, a significant figure in Hamas’s political and diplomatic structure, has raised serious questions about the future of ongoing ceasefire negotiations. American officials had recently indicated that these talks, mediated by Qatar, the United States, and Egypt, were close to yielding a temporary ceasefire and a potential hostage release deal.

However, the assassination has cast doubt on the feasibility of these efforts moving forward.

      That’s what Bibi wants, perpetual war so he’s staying on power. Trump winning the election would also be a great boost as he’s definitely willing to back Israel on a wider offensive war with Lebanon and Iran.

      Compare this to the current Democrat government that told Israel no when they wanted to retaliate after Iran’s retaliation.

        That’s basically what Zionism calls for. Not just Palestine but a greater israel spreading from Egypt to Jordan. Now they are even wearing badges of it in their uniform.
