Kamala's speech after meeting Netanyahu keeps getting good coverage and making Israelis nervous.
Important to notice is that the snake Netanyahu, through his vassals in America, trying to portray that Israel has accepted the Biden's ceasefire proposal but Hamas is rejecting, the loud-mouths in Netanyahu's cabinet keep spilling the beans! Hahahaha!!
But the deal, if implemented as what Kamala outlined, is certainly not good for Netanyahu.
Australia, Canada and New Zealand press Netanyahu on a Gaza cease-fire.
Australia, Canada and New Zealand called Friday for an urgent cease-fire in Gaza, increasing the pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel a day after Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, declared she would “not be silent” about Palestinian suffering.
Mr. Netanyahu’s trip to Washington this week, which included White House meetings with Mrs. Harris and President Biden and a
high-profile speech to Congress, has heightened criticism, both at home and abroad, of his ambivalent response to a proposed cease-fire deal that has been under negotiation for weeks.
He was set to meet the Republican presidential candidate, Donald J. Trump, who has also called for an end to the war, on Friday in Florida.
“The situation in Gaza is catastrophic,” said a statement issued Friday by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of Australia and signed by Justin Trudeau and Christopher Luxon, the leaders of Canada and New Zealand. “The human suffering is unacceptable. It cannot continue.”
“We fully stand behind the comprehensive cease-fire deal, outlined by President Biden and endorsed by the U.N. Security Council,” the statement said. “We call on parties to the conflict to agree to the deal. Any delay will only see more lives lost.”
U.S. officials have said negotiators are close to sealing a deal and Mr. Netanyahu has recently
hinted at the possibility that one would come soon. But the two sides remain fundamentally divided over when and how the war should end.
According to officials familiar with internal conversations, Israel’s defense agencies fear that Mr. Netanyahu will
doom hopes for a cease-fire deal if he refuses to back down on some new demands, including his insistence that Israeli forces screen Palestinians for weapons at checkpoints as they move between southern and northern Gaza.
His U.S. visit came at an unusually fraught period in the American presidential race, as Mr. Biden announced on Sunday he would not run for a second term and Ms. Harris quickly became the presumptive Democratic nominee. But even Mr. Trump, who in the past has been strongly supportive of Mr. Netanyahu,
expressed frustration with the Israeli leader’s stance on the truce deal.
Israel must end the war in Gaza “and get it done quickly,”
Mr. Trump said in an interview on Fox News on Thursday, arguing that Israel was “getting decimated” by negative publicity over its conduct of the war.
Palestinian health authorities say that more than 39,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the conflict started and the enclave has been devastated by incessant Israeli airstrikes and fighting.
After her meeting with Mr. Netanyahu, Ms. Harris offered strong backing for Israel’s right to defend itself from terrorism. But she added that “far too many innocent civilians” had died in Gaza.
“I will not be silent about their suffering,” she said.
The comments were the first
significant statements she has made on foreign policy since Mr. Biden’s announcement and were closely watched by both Israeli and Palestinian analysts for any sign that, if she were elected, her policies would deviate from those of Mr. Biden.
Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, who plays an important role in Mr. Netanyahu’s governing coalition, criticized the comments. A cease-fire on the terms that have been outlined would amount to surrender to Hamas, he said, adding: “Do not fall into this trap.”
Another far right leader, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, addressed Ms. Harris bluntly: “There will be no cease-fire, Lady presidential candidate,” he said on social media.
