A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.
That will never happen while Netanyahu and his regime are in power. And the only time steps were taken in that direction, the Israeli Prime Minister got assassinated.
nor will the Hamas remain peaceful…
Considering they’re the only ones offering to lay down arms, I’d say they’re more likely to be peaceful than the IDF and Netanyahu, who are not making such an offer.
They also justified the terrorist attack on the 7th of october, welcomed the large attack on Israel, are not “ashamed to say that Israel has no place in their land and has to be removed” and “will do it again and again”.
So yeah they may lay their weapons down, but they never remain peaceful.

It’s pointless arguing this on Lemmy. Everyone here is convinced that the Islamic jihadists are oppressed and just want peace despite what they actually say and do.
Hey what’s your thoughts on manifest destiny? Just curious
Never heard of it
Hamas does not break ceasefire deals. Israel does that.
There was an effective ceasefire before 7th October (apart from the random rockets fired Israel’s way) that was broken pretty badly. Making a ceasefire deal with terrorists that attacked you and took hostages and will never stop attacking you makes no sense.
Effective ceasefire = israel commits Genocide and nobody fights back?

Nobody fights back? You’re having a laugh. They attack Israel constantly. That’s their faith and their purpose to get to paradise. Stop ignoring what they actually say
Israel just “defended themselves” onto Palestinian land and those Untermensch in their concentration camp should shut up and do nothing back for the rest of their lives! How dare Palestinians resist against their brutal oppressors! They should roll over and die in without fighting back like PA does in the West Bank!
But anyways, what was that about a ‘ceasefire’ before oct7?
You’re a terrorist sympathiser. They are not fighting in resistance because they’re oppressed. They’re trying to wipe out Israel because their holy book tells them to.
Oh look your entire argument got destroyed now it’s over to ad-hominems and verbatim Hasbara.
Keep moving those goalposts.
Did you read the date before jumping in to defend israel? Not a single goalpost has been moved here.
From “Holsum Hamas would never break ceasefires!” to “Well the so-called ‘ceasefires’ are just cover for Israeli genocide anyway”
Except Hamas did not break the ceasefire only israel did.
There was no ceasefire extension because israel didn’t want to.
