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.

With them on top of that new state? There will never be peace as long as Netanyahu and Hamas are in power. They all need to go

Unfortunately, in a recent poll 80% of israeli said that israel should take into consideration the suffering of civilians. Only less than 2% said they believed the IDF is using too much fire power. I think there is a deeper issue with people's sentiments.

It's interesting how you select one person from the israeli government but all of Hamas.

Hamas is far more peaceful than israel. They have proven this in 2018 with their peaceful march. The problem is that israel does not respond to words.

Because Netanyahu is not Israel and Hamas is not Palestine. Why do I not name Hamas leader? Maybe cause it's not common knowledge since they hide in Egypt and Jordan, in their villas and don't come out except to bomb malls and steal humanitarian supplies meant for Gaza.

But seriously why are you defending terrorists? I'm not defending Netanyahu, I'm saying he needs to be gone.

I'd love to see your thoughts if you'd been in the area to experience Hamas' "peace" on October 7th.

Why would I visit an apartheid regime that colonizes stolen land?

I certainly hope you're not an American and have never been to the United States, because I've got some unfortunate news about who that land properly belongs to.

Are Americans actively being resisted against by the people they are occupying or has there been a peace treaty somewhere?

I wonder.
