Israel’s Cabinet has approved a cease-fire deal with the Hamas militant group that would bring a temporary halt to a devastating war now in its seventh week. The Israeli government said that under the deal, Hamas is to free at least 50 of the roughly 240 hostages it is holding in the Gaza Strip over a four-day period.

Huh, could it be that this ceasefire is because Biden wasn't just twiddling his thumbs? Guess we'll never know.

This whole mess has been hugely funded and armed by the US empire for decades

How does the US president not have enough leverage to stop the death before 11k people die?

Perhaps they agree that Israel has a right to defend itself, despite collateral damage.

If you think they have the moral high ground as they wade through thousands upon thousands of child corpses resulting from levelling refugee camps and apartment buildings, I don't know what to say to you
